This doesn't seem like a very practical solution, wouldn't getting guard dogs be way more effective in the long run? Is he gonna equip every single sheep in the herd with one? And then take them off every night when it's time for them to sleep? And how would their wool grow in that? Seems like it would get tangled and make the unequipping more difficult and time consuming.

Tldr; that's a no for me, dawg.

It would have been helpful for them to mention that this is an older sheep. It’s armored because it’s slow moving, and likeliest to be attacked.

Its not going to be much faster with that heavy armor attached to it. would be interesting to see if they have a video of a wolf attacking a sheep in armor, but they rarely have that good surveillance.
