Why Are They Throwing Sheep Into The Sea?
Why Are They Throwing Sheep Into The Sea?
These farmers have a unique sheep washing method. Well, that’s quite far. But you know what’s even more effective? Tossing them into the salty sea.
The salt content actually helps the sheep get rid of annoying parasites and bacteria on their bodies. While sheep do not enjoy swimming, they are quite good at it. With the farmers observing them, the chances of drowning are almost negligible.
Regular baths like this are important to ensure the quality of their wool. But what if there are no bodies of water nearby? Farmers make artificial pools like this one. This is called a sheep dip. It’s a special water mixture containing a liquid formulation of insecticide and fungicide.
Farmers and shepherds use this to protect their herd from infestations of external parasites like itch mites, ticks, and lice.
