Born: March 2007
Gender: Female (Ewe)
Breed: Mixed Breed Sheep
Appearance: A big girl with a Roman nose, comparable to Shaun’s, although not as prominent. She has a very thick woolly, cream coat and quite a majestic air about her.
Personality: She is a very outgoing sheep who is not shy and is usually near the front of the queue to investigate anything interesting. Although she clearly likes to exert her dominance with the other sheep and can be a little over-excited when it comes to food, Florence is a sucker for a cuddle and shows us her softer side.
Favourite Food: She adores the long luscious grass by the chicken pen but will eat anything, including nibbling on shoe laces, hair, gardening spades, doggy poo bags…well, like we said – anything!
Habits: Florence has a tendency to stand on your toes in her desire to reach the food bucket first. Whilst this was quite an endearing quality when she was a lamb, now fully grown we are in the receiving end of bruised toes and feet on many occasions.
Naughtiest Moments: Like Maisie, Florence was nearly always one of the first to finish her milk as a lamb and would quite happily, with clearly no conscience, try and steal any leftovers from the other lambs – whether they’d finished or not. Definitely a diva in the making!
