His effort has eclipsed the previous best tally of 867 set in 2016.
Stuart told The Sun: “I was so relieved when I reached the final sheep.
“I trained for this for so long, it was so overwhelming that I had finally reached my goal.
“The record is huge. I reckon I’ll stay in first place for a while.”
