Well, yeah, but Ulfr was talking about contaminating the meat by it coming
in contact with the *wool*.

I know in commercial production they shear the sheep to make butchering
easier (or so a friend of mine assures me--she's into both fiber and
toxicology). Does it make as much of a difference when it's by hand, as it
were?
