Farm mother
Answer:
EWE
Hint:
This female animal is known for her woolly coat and often heard calling for her lamb in the pasture.
Explanation:
The clue "Farm mother" plays on the idea of a female animal that raises young on a farm. A "ewe" is an adult female sheep, which fits because sheep are common farm animals and ewes are mothers to lambs. The wordplay is straightforward—no tricks—just a simple definition where "mother" hints at the female parent role in livestock.
