Reply to comment by scuricide in Did sheep fur always just endlessly grow or was that something that was selectively bred? Were they originally naturally adapted to be going through a lot of foliage and thickets and stuff that would keep their coat relatively trimmed? by EuroTraschBozos
They make you smell tho. Wool is amazing at not getting smelly from sweat etc.
