Whether or not the sheep blacking will help depends on whether or not there 
is an element of photosensitivity involved.  Sometimes there is.  Other times 
I think it is a matter of the pigment within the skin itself being part of 
the defense, although I don't know of any real "scientific" background for 
that.  Either way, the white legs are definitely more apt to be affected...
