Question

Sheep shearing is always done after the winter. Why?

Answer 1

Sheep shearing is done after winters because if sheep have nothing to protect themselves, then they have to take up a lot of energy from the environment to keep themselves warm to survive. Because air is a poor conductor of heat, the trapped air in the thick coat of hair on sheep's body prevents the flow of heat from their body to the surroundings in winters. This protects sheep from cold weather by keeping them warm.
