What did they do with all the fleece?  The fleeced will need it this winter as the wolves waken.  Sheep need something warm and woolly to conceal themselves and to hide from the world.  A bit of sand to keep your head in is enough for a warm summer's day.  Better fleece in winter to snuggle into.  For sand is not warm and blows easily away when the wolves catch scent in the winter winds.  Its intelligence bred out.  Its instinctual faith in group left intact.  Easy to provide for.  Easy to control.  Easy to sheer..
