  For the one other Flickr viewer who isn't familiar with this term ;) "The term sheep dip refers to a liquid formulation of insecticide and fungicide which shepherds and farmers may use to protect their sheep from infestation against external parasites such as itch mite, blow-fly, ticks, keds and lice. "The term is used both for the formulation itself, and the trough in which the sheep is dipped. The sheep are completely immersed in the preparation."
