Giant sheep fleeced on TV
29 Apr 2004
Shrek, a wild and woolly hermit sheep, was shorn by champion blade Peter Casserly on television yesterday. The merino wether had evaded musters and dodged the shearer’s blades for six years. He was barely recognizable as a sheep when finally captured two weeks ago, on a farm in New Zealand.
Shrek’s heavily matted fleece was 38cm long, rock-hard in places and weighed in at 27.5 kilograms.
