Sheep? Yeah. But we is Warriors too, innit...!

Oxo is an Oxford ram. Oxford rams are big and strong and eat a lot. Remind you of anyone? Oxo loves eating: cauliflowers especially.

He's brave too and great at butting baddies. And when there aren't any baddies to butt he makes do with butting fence-posts.

Sal the Southdown ewe is built for comfort, not for speed. Southdowns have fat rumps and thick woolly fleeces. And a long history...

Sal loves history. Sheep history, of course. What other kind is there?

She can recite all the ancient Songs of the Fleece.

And that's where a lot of adventures begin!

Jacob sheep are pretty. Jaycey is a Jacob. She's pretty. And cute. And she knows it!

What could be more important than de-frizzing your fleece on a wet day?

Or polishing your dainty little hooves?

Except maybe defeating a monster!

Links is a Lincoln Longwool Sheep and has a super curly fleece. He's big and strong too. And he's into music.

                "We's the Eppingham Possee, an' for your information,

                  We's on a mission to save the sheeply nation."

And lastly there's Wills. Wills is a Welsh Balwen sheep and though he may only be a skinny orphan lamb, ahhh...  he's the brains of the Eppingham Five.
