  He he he, funny question smartykate1997!
  
  Well I think it’s because clothes only shrink in a hot wash so maybe sheep don’t shrink because rain is never warm enough…..oh and sheep would never really shrink, their fleece would get smaller, but how funny would it be to see a field of tiny tiny sheep! 😀
