Amanda Owen

Amanda Owen (born 1974 or 1975) is an English shepherd and writer.

Her first book The Yorkshire Shepherdess was published in 2015 (Sidgwick & Jackson, ISBN 978-0283071966) and she followed this in 2017 with A Year in the Life of the Yorkshire Shepherdess (Sidgwick & Jackson, ISBN 978-0283072413). Before the books she was known to many readers through her Twitter feed as "The Yorkshire Shepherdess".[1]

She lives and farms on a remote farm, Ravenseat, Swaledale in the Yorkshire Dales with her husband Clive Owen and their nine children.[2]

In August 2017 she appeared on BBC Radio 4's The Museum of Curiosity. Her hypothetical donation to this imaginary museum was a shepherd's whistle, used to communicate with her sheep dogs.[3]
