Why dont sheep freeze?
They can if they can’t get into a sheltered area. In the west, sheep will move away from the wind during a blizzard. If they pile up against a sheep-tight fence corner, they can get buried in the snow and die. Normally, the dense wool is an excellent insulator against the cold and can survive for quite a long time as long as they can get food. Mountain sheep migrate from high altitudes during the winter months to lower elevations where they can get adequate supply of food and away from the extreme weather.
