A 60lb wool overcoat. Do sheep ever get heat stroke?

[callthemlikeyouseethem]

The real problem with sheep left unshorn for years is that often they will lay down and not be able to get up because of the weight of the wool. The advantage of not shearing every year is that they are usually too heavy to jump fences...:)

Actually, the wool works as insulation. It protects the animal from the cold as well as the heat.

,,, shearing season kicks in well before the height of summer. This is timed to take the heat off them but allowing a margin of time for grow back so they don't get sunburn.
