Soppy female and sheepish male (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wether

'sheepish male' is the definition.
(castrated ram)

'soppy female' is the wordplay.
'soppy' becomes 'wet' ('wet' can be similar in meaning to 'soppy').
'female' becomes 'her' (I've seen this before).
'wet'+'her'='WETHER'

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for wether that I've seen before include "Male sheep" , "Castrated ram" , "Castrated sheep" , "Castrated 22dn" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
