The Farmer usually goes about his daily business unaware that his sheep are anything but normal animals, and his trusty sheepdog Bitzer is determined to keep it that way. Although he means well, the Farmer is a very ambitious man, often pursuing random flights of fancy such as new sports, forms of art, competitions and modern technology, despite his lack of comprehension. His endeavors have more than once inadvertently risked his own safety, as well as that of his farm animals, which the Flock often end up resolving with him none the wiser.

He does not communicate verbally, as he only speaks gibberish (aside from a few words such as "Hello", a vague but recognisable "Bitzer",

The Farmer appears to be in his mid to late 40s or early 50s, and has a very stocky build. He has faded red/strawberry blonde hair, which is balding by the series' present day, and very prominent sideburns. He has a very large lower lip, which juts out far when viewing him in profile. His most frequently-seen outfit involved a black (dark brown in later series) framed glasses, a cream-colored knitted sweater, blue jeans, a green jacket and perpetually muddy boots
