Yorkshire shepherdess Amanda Owen has shared an intricate lambing technique, drawing inspiration from a classic television series.

The technique was famously featured in an episode of All Creatures Great & Small, a show set in the Yorkshire Dales. Owen recalled being captivated by the episode as a child, which depicted a similar solution for an orphaned foal.
