As long as there are sheep, shearing must be practiced for the health and hygiene of each individual animal.
Unlike other animals, most sheep are unable to shed. If a sheep goes too long without being shorn, a number of problems occur.
The excess wool impedes the ability of sheep to regulate their body temperatures. This can cause sheep to become overheated and die.
Urine, feces and other materials become trapped in the wool, attracting flies, maggots and other pests. This causes irritation, infections and endangers the health of the animal.
Sheep with large amounts of wool can become immobilized by physical obstacles in their path and are more susceptible to predator attacks.

Answer:
The uppermost layer of the skin is dead.
Cutting or shaving the wool off of a Sheep is called shearing. Shearing doesn't usually hurt a Sheep. It is just like getting a hair cut.
However, shearing requires skill so that the sheep is shorn efficiently and quickly without causing cuts or injury to the Sheep or shearer.
