If you show your sheep then you definitely want a blanket for your sheep so you can help keep him clean and in the best appearance for the judges. Sheep blankets, however, can be expensive and can be hard to order especially the right size for your particular sheep. But there’s an alternative in that you can actually construct it yourself. Find a burlap bag, cut or split one of the long edge and then cut out the corner of the sack’s bottom on the opposite side of the split. This hole will be where the sheep’s head fits through. The rest of the bag will simply hang over your sheep like a blanket. It works in a pinch and is a great money saver and time saver. Need help fitting your sheep for a real blanket down the road? Give your animal hospital Wichita, KS a call.
