Fitting Your Sheep for a Blanket


Did you know that sheep need blankets and it’s not always to keep them warm? Owners that show their sheep or sheer their sheep to sell wool are pretty adamant about keeping that coat clean. You can help keep your sheep’s coat clean with a blanket. Before buying one or making one, however, you need to find out your sheep’s size. Sheep are measured for their blanket size in a similar way to horses. First, have your sheep stand squarely on level ground. Next, use a fabric tape measure to measure from the center of your sheep’s chest over the point of the shoulder to the point where you want the blanket to end at the top of the tail. The inch measurement you obtain at the other end of your tape should be your sheep’s blanket size. If you need assistance, contact your veterinarian Wichita, KS
