And now veteran producer Phil Twizell was rewarded for achieving top production and quality whilst pushing the age of the flock to beyond 80 weeks.

The awards were handed out by BBC Countryfile presenter, Adam Henson, assisted during the ceremony by the voice of the BBC’s national lottery programme, Alan Dedicoat.
