Detailed Solution

Sheep shearing is the process in which the fleece of the sheep is removed along with a thin layer of skin from its body. This process helps the sheep to get rid of bacteria which is accumulated on fleece due to the waste on it. Shearing also helps them move freely and keeps them clean.

The delicate, fluffy wool fibres known as burrs are picked out from the sheep hair. This process is called combing.
