2.Wool yielding animals are found in the colder regions . They have thick fur coat on their body to keep them warm in cold climatic conditions. They do so by trapping the heat in their coat which helps in keeping them warm.

4.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.
5.Pasture should be the main source of nutrition for sheep. If pasture is not available, a good quality hay can be just as good. Hay quality is variable and very weather dependent. Pasture that has been cut too late, or too early will greatly vary the nutrients available. Try to maintain as even a nutrition level as possible since sudden changes in diet can lead to severe problems in ruminants. Any sudden changes in diet can cause life-threatening complications in the rumen, or sheep bloat. Make any diet changes gradually to avoid problems.
6.Sheep shearing is the process by which the woollen fleece of a sheep is cut off. The person who removes the sheep's wool is called a shearer. Typically each adult sheep is shorn once each year (a sheep may be said to have been "shorn" or "sheared", depending upon dialect).
