 Born: February 2007
Gender: Female (Ewe)
Breed: Mixed Breed Sheep
Appearance: Maisie stands out from the other sheep due to the black markings on her face and legs. As a lamb she looked like she had mascara around her eyes!
Personality: She is very lively and a bit mischievous. She is the one most likely to nibble things that she shouldn't and also gently head butt your bottom or legs when you are not looking. She is very friendly though and likes to be stroked and hugged.
Favourite Food: Lamb finisher pellets.
 Habits: As with all ruminants, Maisie spends much of her day chewing and chewing and…..anyway, she has a wonderful tendency to regurgitate way too much food and ends up storing it in her cheeks. We think she was a hamster in a former life. It makes us laugh when she lets us “squidge” her cheeks – you almost expect her to pop!
Naughtiest Moments: As a lamb, Maisie was the fastest milk-guzzler of them all and would finish her drink way before any of the other lambs. Not satisfied with her own food, Maisie would then proceed to try and knock the other lambs off their own bottles – turn your back and she would somehow be merrily drinking on someone else’s breakfast!

Maisie has a great deal of difficulty distinguishing between food and fingers and has always had a problem habit of nibbling just that little bit too hard! Her razor sharp incisors are like knives and she has drawn blood or more than one occasion – she just can’t seem to stop herself! Maybe we should have named her Mona (the kids will get that one!).
