and wot happens without human interference ??

do they moult ??

do they REALLY get 2 hot in summer ??

please do NOT misunderstand MY query

I AM wondering how such an animal came 2 B with us

needing our assistance 2 prepare them 4 summer

[1221solstice2012]

@ANU1god I've read that over the centuries, people have bred sheep to grow the most wool, so it is too much for them to handle on their own, so they need clipping to be cool and comfortable in the summer. Some breeds still do shed on their own I believe.

[HillsideAdoptAnimals]

@ANU1god: Originally sheep would only grow enough wool to keep them warm in the winter and moult it in the summer. However humans have bred modern sheep to grow more wool and not moult it. For more info please see the link to wool in the video description. Thanks

Cool vid,but first part so SAD :(

[IvanIsmailov]

So sad in the beginning :-( ..... nice to see that you care ;-)

[NorthWindBlowingCold]

Oh dear - watching that lamb beside it's dead mother....can't tell you what that did to me.....that must be one of the most horrible and moving things I have ever seen.....thank you for all you do and did for her. I am so thankful that I live without needing their flesh or their wool. .....and I DO live...no one will die without it. Thank you again.

[Soulisscool]

To think I used to eat animals and have their milk, but its inconceivable to me now. 

[AlexArndtMusic]

soo cute... 

[mrssyringa]

I was in tears seeing the lamb beside its dead mother. Bless you.  I'm so glad I'm a veggie

God, that's heartbreaking - but thank goodness for Hillside she now has a wonderful life - you do a fantastic job. I've just started up my monthly donations again. Lots of love and keep up the amazing work. xxx

What a beautiful girl...love her expression at 04.54 in the video...bless her.Thank you so much for all you do for animals....long may you thrive.

[dynamosephine]

Isn't it nice to see how relaxed and happy a sheep can be when being sheared if it's done by somebody with gentleness, sensitivity and compassion rather than yob who's just shoving her about and bullying her and trying to get the job done as fast as possible to move on to the next.

[mandylou36]
