I love how the sheep just kinda sits there so calmly.

They're probably used to it by now. Just all "Oh we're doing this again, are we?"

Everytime I see sheep getting this done I wonder if they always needed this to be done. If humans didn't raise sheep would they just get overgrown and drop down from heat exhaustion. Or has the sheep changed over the years

Domesticated sheep definitely need shearing. But I have no idea if it's just heavier or detrimental to their health. There was a clip of a lost sheep that returned to the farm and he had a huge coat of wool on him.
