It varies by breed. The regular Suffolk type you see in a field isn't soft or fluffy to the touch at all. I suppose a well groomed show quality sheep might be considered soft or fluffy, but field sheep are anything but that- their wool is matted and tough- designed to insulate and protect them from the elements.

Because sheep are a lower life-form, they have a very bad fashion sense. Most sheep and some goats are still stuck back in the 60's when a buffont hair-do was considered chic. Also, since they have short necks, they can't read their own laundering instructions on their undersides, and their wool coats tend to get frazzled after a few seasons. Dry clean only!

Because sheep have hair covering called fleece or WOOL. And wool for the most part is fluffy.
Or is there an inside joke your boyfriend is not telling you completely?

the electric fences...
no seriously, to keep warm on the top of windy mountains, where they go to get away from the fat cows who have eaten all the good grass in the warm valleys.
