Abstract
In conclusion, sheared but not unsheared ewes, preferred softer floors with low thermal conductivity (straw and wood). The less dramatically reduction in lying time (% of observations) after shearing when the ewes had access to straw, suggest that access to straw the first weeks after shearing may improve animal welfare.
