Why don't sheep shrink in the rain?

Question

Ms. Coolpants if you really have to ask then you don't have sense of humor ^_^

Answer 1

Those pour-on lice and flea treatments that you see farmers squirting on their flocks as they run through the sheep races also contain fabric softener. You will also never see a heated blower on a farm. Sheep have to drip dry.

Answer 2

Very funny.  But actually, wool on a sheep is full of lanolin, an oil that keeps the wool fibers from getting wet.

Answer 3

they do in the oven yum yum

Answer 4

is this a serious question??

Answer 5

Wool doesn't shrink in cold water, it shrinks in hot water.  

Additionally, in the event that hot rain did fall, each follicle would probably shorten (if indeed wool shrinkage is possible when it is still attached to the sheep), so you would have the same size sheep, but with shorter hair.
