I thought maybe it was a life vest in case this sheep wanted to take a little boat ride. I really like the black and white treatment on this. The glow around the edges of the ears and the overall look of the conversion is very nice. Jim H.
Thanks guys! I think they put this on sheep when their fleece gets long to protect it from getting snagged or exceptionally dirty. It's for the shearer's benefit, not the sheep's. ;-)
