Hi, what a lovely question!  Well I reckon anything that is firm is fine.  My sheep poo varies from rabbit like to slightly more clumped.  I think it will depend on grazing/feeding and at this time of year when grass is poor or non-existent and you may be feeding hay, the poo is harder and then breaks into balls whereas in summer or when more moisture in the grass/feed the poo softens and the bits stick together.

You need to worry when it is very loose as this is likely to be a sign of worms.  Sometimes I see a bit of mucus but not sure what this means.

Its normally when the sheep are getting more protein in their feed that their poo is softer. In the summer when the grass has lots of rich goodness is when the droppings are a bit softer. But not as soft as cow pat-ish. Cow pat-ish I'd be checking worm/fluke count.
