I don't think this is to clean the sheep. From what I've seen in similar videos they're getting treated for parasitic flies that lay eggs in open wounds, and lice.

Ticks as well.

I would think that ridding something of parasites counts as a form of cleaning. But I get what you're saying.

Pasture maggots look like maggots in the field, and have maggots in their flesh, truly fitting.

In a way though, isn't that still cleaning them of parasites? I'd take a mudbath if it meant getting the ticks/lice off of me.
