Why is shearing of sheep done in summers?
A sheep needs the fleece to protect it from cold, wet weather, mainly in the early spring and winter. In summer, the fleece is sheared off and sold for wool. It is done in summer as the weather is usually warm, and the sheep can then be dipped to kill off any ticks that would normally be unreachable through a thick fleece. If the shearing is not done, natural shedding of the fleece will take place, but the fleece and the income from the sales of the fleece, would be lost to the farmer. Sometimes, the market for a fleece is so poor that it is not worth the bother of shearing. In which case, the sheep may be allowed to be shed their fleece naturally, then the dipping can take place.
