Shear the sheep

Puzzle provided by Highlights

Have you ever seen a shearer remove sheep’s wool? Sheep need to be shorn at least once every year before the hot weather. Shearing is usually carried out in spring. This is because their wool can help sheep avoid sunburn in summer and keep them warm in winter. Wool is soft and smooth, and very useful. For example, it can be spun into yarn and used for clothing and keep us warm. Next time when you go to a farm, don’t forget to pay a visit to our warm and fluffy friends!
