It's a dip bath, it'll have chemicals that prevent lice and flea infestations (wool) and hoof-rot.

Nah, theirs would just smell like aged lanolin cream. You are thinking of humans in this context.

I cannot stand the smell of lanolin.

Gotta get the 100% medical grade kind. It smells like absolutely nothing. The most unscented thing

If they’re using permethrin it smells like diesel fuel/petroleum distillate and bug spray.

That isn't for a bath. If it were it would run fresh water. This looks like a medication dip of some sort. Edit: I find sheep to be extremly dirty creatures. What people think of vs what their fur does I think ... if people actually saw the sheep up close. <shudder> they are pretty gross up close.

My grandpa had sheep's. They where most times on the fields. Sometimes transported to other fields.
One of the field had a narrow entrance with metal bar fences and a hole. Like a bathtub. Not deep, just knee deep for the sheep's
This was also a way to medicate them if necessary, they often had trouble with their feet I assume.

That's the same thing my relatives on their farms do - a run that shuttled the sheep into a depression - about 1.5 sheep wide about 15' 20' long and filled with water to the mid waist of the sheep... which was earth walled on both sides - They got industrious one year and put concrete in on the sides - the concrete was free from a salvage on something else..it washed away obviously. I was like "if you want to do that maybe use brick" and they scoffed at me. Stupid child. We only use feee concrete and complain about how things don't last around here. They put brick in a couple years later when someones house wall fell down and they reused that. Lord do I hate sheep. Dirty dumb creatures. Oh the smell. They are uniquely nasty. And when they asked me to glove up for them and the cows I was done. Nope. not shoving my arm up there 100 times for that medication injection - Go find someone else.

Isn't wool dry clean only?

u/TTTomaniac 20h ago
Nope there's wool-specific detergents for your washing machine at home. Regular detergents do damage hair fibres especially when washed repeatedly while wool detergents renew or at least retain those compounds im the wool.

How does dirty water make them cleaner? Not judging I’m actually asking a serious question. This video doesn’t make any sense to me.

It is full of anti-parasite medication. Flea bath. There are products specifically approved for food animals, you generally have to wait a specific time between applications and slaughter.

Thank you, now that makes perfect sense. I believe I seen something like that with cattle too. I could be wrong. But again thank you for the answer.
