Serious wet weather gear that actually keeps the water out. I use some heavy weight oilskins (or Foul Weather Gear) which are for fishing really, but I find they are perfect for handelling wet sheep in the winter, they keep you dry even in heavy rain, and you can still move in them.

A great way to stop the draught from your chimney when not in use..........by putting a sheep up it!!!!!! (Well actually a pannel made from felted wool)
