 Born: February 2007
Gender: Female (Ewe)
Breed: Mixed Breed Sheep (but mostly Swaledale)
Appearance: Fluffy is quite unusual in appearance in comparison to the other sheep. With a smaller head, shorter legs and rounder body, some people might say that she is not the prettiest sheep in the world but we are sure that her mother loved her!
Personality: Fluffy is more independent than our other sheep and not as keen on the hugs and kisses. Inquisitive and always on the look out for food, she will stay close by when we are out in the fields but usually likes to be at the back of the pack, observing.
Favourite Food: She is a big fan of the sheep lick and usually walks around with a chocolaty-covered face for most of the day.
 Habits: Fluffy has a real knack of scratching her back so vigorously on the hay rack that she invariably knocks it off its’ stand. She also has a habit of just bounding around for no apparent reason which is pretty hysterical to watch.
Naughtiest Moments: Ever intent on expanding her already rotund abdomen, Fluffy had to be rescued after she stuck her head firmly through our pig-wired fence in an attempt to reach some obviously delicious-looking leaves. It was her desperate sounding baaing that alerted us to her plight and we helped to  guide her head back through the fence. Unfortunately, Fluffy then moved 20 yards along to another area of apparently yummy leaves and stuck her head through the fence again – there’s gratitude for you!

Despite being the shortest of our sheep, she certainly wasn't the weakest when we attempted to trim her hooves. Fluffy put up the most resistance to being flipped on her back and was very unhappy with the whole situation! I’m sure we looked very comical trying to hang on to a sheep that was trying to gallop off into the next field at 100 miles an hour!
