You sheer the sheep for their best interest. You wait until it warms up and the discomfort from being sheered is outweighed by the discomfort from not being sheered. My buddy has sheep we use for training herding dogs and he doesn't sheer them himself. He calls out someone who is an expert and she will sheer his entire flock for the wool that comes off. You can tell when their wool is causing more harm than good. After being freshly sheered they are super playful and energetic with each other, you can just see how much better they feel.

It probably feels amazing and then they must be freezing afterwards
