The shearing of the sheep can be done in any month and is performed at different times in different climates. Sheep in warmer climates are usually sheared in early spring prior to the birth of the lambs. Sheep in colder climates are shorn later to reduce any stress due to cold.
Sheep are normally dipped after shearing to treat for external parasites such as lice.
