SHEEP, WARWICKSHIRE: Bizza was born and raised on the family farm which runs a commercial breeding flock of 600 North Country Mule sheep on 700 acres (283 hectares) of permanent pasture. The female Mules are mated with Suffolk tups (males).

The farm is run by her father and two uncles. The tricky question as to whether Bizza will one day take over has still to be resolved. So although Bizza is involved with the farm, where she keeps her own flocks of pedigree Greyface Dartmoor and commercial New Zealand Romney sheep, she also works elsewhere. During the pandemic, she worked as a contract shepherdess and travelled across England, Orkney and Iceland helping with lambing and shearing. Now she works off the farm for the Farm Safety Foundation (often known as Yellow Wellies) as a Farm Safety Campaign Coordinator.

Bizza is passionate about British agriculture, and uses her social media platforms to promote it. One day she would like to work as a TV presenter, specialising in agriculture and farming.

“Farming isn’t just a job, but a way of life,” she says. “I love the early mornings (less so in the winter!) and bringing new life into the world. Farming is arguably one of the most important industries worldwide, and to be feeding the world is something we as farmers should be incredibly proud of, especially with our high animal welfare and environmental standards.”

On the downside, she’s concerned at how difficult it is for young people to enter farming – a subject close to her heart given her own challenges over succession. “If a farmer’s daughter is struggling to make a go of things in the industry due to lack of available funding, help and access to land, how can we expect new entrants to get involved?” she says.
