*Wool/Cashmere... Many people believe that shearing sheep helps animals who might otherwise be burdened with too
much wool. But without human interference, sheep grow just enough wool to protect themselves from temperature extremes. The
fleece provides effective insulation against both cold and heat. Wool was once obtained by plucking it from the sheep during
molting seasons. Breeding for continuous fleece growth began after the invention of shears.
