I used to farm sheep. After eating lamb stew in the winter, I never needed to apply chapstick to my lips. Granted, we made our stews from cull animals, usually too old to be true "lamb" at that point.

A well fed ewe in the 12 to 24 month range can be very fatty. An ewe at the age of eight to ten (old for a sheep)is not much but wool and bones. They tend to really pack on the fat until they wean off their first set of lambs.

Might also be from handling lanolin laden wool?

I make a great skin cream using coconut oil and lanolin.
