Why don't sheep shrink when it rains?

Maybe they do but the wool is continuosly growing

Neil, are you saying you shrink wool?

wool in its natural form while still on the cow is coated in lanolin which offers the wool a water proof protector.

its not the wool that shrinks, its the backing

so if the wool is still on the sheep does it mean that it's skin and bones slowly shrink away
