The sheep are upset because they are the only ones on the farm who get sheared, and then they are prone to colds and have to take medicine. And then they have to graze on short grass and drink icy water. So the sheep decide to go on strike. The animals on the farm are split: some are for the sheep and some against. Shearing day comes and goes, but there is a surprise that brings peace to this divided community.
