Reuben Owen is back in the spotlight with the new Channel 5 series, *Life in the Dales*. The show provides a glimpse into his farming experiences at Ravenseat, a 2,000-acre estate in North Yorkshire.
Challenges in Farming Operations
In the premiere episode, Reuben faced several challenges while constructing a sheep pen. He humorously suggested he might need to “sack” someone due to his frustrations. The task quickly escalated when problems arose with a gate post that required precise alignment.
“It is quite a fiddly job,” Reuben explained. “The pens must have the right gaps to function properly.” As he struggled with the maintenance of the sheep pen, he described his mounting frustration, saying, “I’m going mad.”
Working with Family and Friends
Reuben isn’t alone in his endeavors. He is supported by his girlfriend, Jessica, and his friend, Sonny. However, they faced a setback when one of the posts was misplaced. Reuben remarked, “There’s quite a lot of messing around,” referring to the complications in the process.
- Reuben’s team had difficulty aligning a post due to a hidden stone.
- Jessica jokingly defended herself when Reuben questioned who made the mistake.

After resolving the issue and successfully inserting the post, Reuben celebrated with his team, indicating their shared success and collaborative effort in overcoming the challenges.
