A renegade New Zealand sheep that managed to evade the shearers for six years has finally had a haircut.
Shrek, the Merino sheep, was shorn live on national television by top shearers David Fagan and Peter Casserley.
The 10-year-old sheep had managed to roam freely on New Zealand's South Island for more than six years before being finally rounded up.

Linky....


27Kg (60lb) fleece !!! that's a lot of wool.

at least he stayed warm.

just imagine how relieved that sheep was to find out that those nutty Kiwis who were chasing him only wanted to SHEAR him....

That's only what they showed on NZ TV, I fully expect a 'Directors Cut' version on DVD, no holds baaaa'd.

ROFL!!

So many things could be said at this time. But I will stay out of it to keep some people's names protected.

You'd be talking 'bout yerself lad!!!! And maybe TGM - he's got those weird boots!!!!

I have visions of Wiley E. Coyote
"Good morning Sam"
"Good morning Ralph"

They are more like soft, wool booties. But that doesn't mean he has a thing for sheep.

Purely platonic, I assure you.
