Makes sense to me! Sheep smell like sheep because of lanolin. Sheep leave greasy rub marks on stalls and posts (itchy pests). You really can't clean wool until the protective (for a sheep) lanolin is removed. Shepherds may have used raw (with lanolin) sheepskins to keep the rain and snow off. Stinky rancid grease over time - that's what'll happen...
