    please do NOT misunderstand MY query

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

  • @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

  • 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.

  • You guys are doing a great job!!

  • @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.
