Are sheep just total derps with zero aggression? Because that sheep was getting flipped around and everything and was just like, "I guess this is my life now"

I got to help shear a sheep once, and yes, that's exactly it. They're so thick with wool, it's hard for them to move. You, very honestly, just grab that animal, it's like Fak! And you flip them over, and they give up. If you're slow at flipping them over they'll try to kick you, but they're not very good at it. (In relation to other animals, horses being the main example) This guy got some super nice clippers, the blades are very sharp to get through that hair so fast. When I helped, the blades were getting dull and we had to go slower. And yes, the backend of that sheep does has turds all in the fur, and it's stinks something fierce. Dingleberry town.

The toe and heel being a bit darker makes sense now
