Turned the spotlight on and it was a sheep looking at us over the top of the fencepost. Nothing else of it was visible, so well insulated was its coat.

My sheep are wiltshires and even in full fleece have only a thin layer of wool. They stick out like lightbulbs in a thermal. I was surprised how much hotter they register than deer do.
