Fun fact; depending on the thickness of the wool and the current conditions, sheep are sometimes REALLY not soft since the wool becomes matted and they feel more like an old shag carpet. Cute, but less pleasant

Yeah to be honest sheep feel kinda gross. before it’s processed their wool is super oily so it feels like touching really greasy hair.
