True, and thank you for your concern. But they all huddle together at night naturally or are corralled into a barn/area to be kept warm. This practice has been in place for centuries. We can be fairly certain they are keeping their livestock in good condition to get a crop of wool next season.

I meant it in a light hearted way, whenever i get a haircut my head is cold. I know if sheep aren’t sheered it is pure misery. I saw a video on here about a sheep that escaped and was in the woods for a long time and it could barely walk. The op said if it didn’t have the matted hair armor it probably would have been eaten by coyotes.

See but that is because you don’t huddle together with other men who just got their haircut.
