No, sheep do not naturally shed out their wool, the reason why farmers shear domesticated sheep is due to climatic temperatures. Sheep originated from colder climates, when temperatures increase in the spring and summer months sheep are not able to keep cool and can die. Therefore, farmers will shear the sheep in late spring or early summer.
