The Yorkshire Shepherdess, Amanda Owen, has told 5 live looking after sheep is an 鈥渁rduous, tiring, 24/7 job鈥� but it鈥檚 鈥渁 way of life鈥�. She made her comments after The National Trust advertised for a farmer to rent a million pound farm, for just 拢1 a year.

Parc Farm is on the top of the Great Orme in Wales, comes with 500 grazing sheep and covers 900 acres. The idea of the new role is to protect the rare species and habitats on the land by using traditional farming methods.

Amanda, who is pregnant with her 9th child, runs a farm with 1,000 sheep in Yorkshire. She said having half a million tourists visiting Parc Farm every year is a 鈥渨in, win situation鈥� as the sheep on the land might not be as 鈥渃ommercially valuable鈥� as other, non-native breeds, so visitors will generate much needed revenue.
