- A rogue sheep found wandering in rural Victoria has been shorn of his heavily overgrown 35kg fleece. Nicknamed Baarack by his rescuers, the merino ram was taken to Edgar's Mission farm sanctuary, where the fleece was removed to save his life. 'He was in a bit of a bad way,' Kyle Behrend of the sanctuary said. 'He was underweight and, due to all of the wool around his face, he could barely see'

For a brief moment, we know who the happiest sheep in the world is.
It's a physical representation of how patriotic Brits feel now the thick stinking matted blanket of dead weight has been removed bye bye EU
@@labourvotersarepaedophiles7728 when you spam the autofill words on the keyboard.
A lot more to come back and forth with the new sprint network from the following the instructions in the end i died in the end of this communication in a new message from the first place is still a lot of people who do.
@@labourvotersarepaedophiles7728 Your comment aged like fine wine
Poor thing carrying all that weight around. Glad he was found.

This "weight" saved him from being consumed by wild.
He kinda looked like one of the Old English judges.
LOL!
Too bad sheep have been selectively bred to keep growing their wool. Wild sheep don't have this problem.
Glad you mentioned that. I was wondering what sheep did without people. This poor fella was just a victim of the Earth's cancer, like the rest of the world
@@dariondonte8386 Finally we get the answers. If it is a bred sheep, the sheep is ignored. A very sick owner to do this kind of evil things.
@@Daisy-lr8ff it got lost.
People too.
@@dariondonte8386 how dare we clothe ourselves
I hope they properly treat the neck area...even though, he does seem a lot happier! ❤
WHAT ON EARTH HAPPENED TO HIS NECK?!!
@@soapmactavish5355 they accidentally made a cut while shaving the fur :(
oh... it looks pretty painful, i hope he makes a full recovery!
@@soapmactavish5355 ...The wool may have pulled the skin so bad that his skin was pulling, bleeding and irritated. I hope they can take care of him after all that...
@@crystalwaters7081 oh, so they baically made his skin looser/ less tight? if so, then i hope he's fine now
Seeing all that wool getting cut off was extremely satisfying
The comment I was looking for!!! The same here!!!
How do sheep survive in the wild? Answer: Sheep that grow so much wool that they cannot move if left unsheared is not a result of natural evolution. Sheep have been bred by humans for millennia with the goal of selecting the ones that produced the most wool the fastest. This of course is because the goal of the sheep farmer is to make a profit and the more wool they can grow, the higher the profit. As a result, the sheep that are farmed now do not resemble the wild sheep they come from in many ways. They have wool that grows so fast and so thick that if left to their own devices, the population would die off rather quickly as they find themselves immobilized by their vast quantities of wool.
That’s terrible and cruel to Baarack!
Now Barrack is lucky and he left from the bred shelter!
@@Daisy-lr8ff complain to Michelle
He looks like a rich celebrity wearing really weird clothes.
Yeah Merino wool. These sheep have health issues due to being bred to produce as much wool as possible even without the neglect.
What sort of health issues?
Imagine seeing that unit when walking in woods
😂😂😂
I’d probably be scared for a second 😂
that would literally be 100 wool military blankets, 580 pairs of wool socks, 24 wool jackets..just from that 1 sheep that missed a few haircuts..lol
He’s so handsome it turns out! 😃
He's single too
It was lucky to be sent to a sanctuary. Those shearings can be quite brutal.
not an it - he
Poor thing! He must have been miserable in the heat of Australian summers!
Thankyou for taking care of it!
Imagine how high he can jump now! Must be over the moon, at least
Awe poor soul thank you for saving his life he must have suffered in the heat too
He looks more like Isaac Newton than Barak Obama.
He was FLEECED !!! 🤣🐑
LOL!
Next time the Mrs tells me she's having a bad hair day ill show her this
That was baaaaaaaaad 😉
Shear bliss.
We've got something called a baarack wandering around this country; do you want it?
80 pounds!!!! Poor little thing!
I hope there aren't any other sheep like him lost in the wild!
Due to COVID i think we can all relate to this.
Sheep shorn. Shorn the sheep! Forlorn and shorn, the sheep was worn. Torn between two shorners. Foreshorn and destitute.
In this blessed world there are NO SHORTAGE of anything “ only for Controls of the people “
What an absolute unit!
Obama voice “Now let me be shear”
Long pauses between bleats, surely
The greatest comment does not exi....

What would have happened to him if he hadn't been found, would the fleece carry on growing and impede his ability to function?
Yes, apparently it can be lethal even.
Yep, plus he might have overheated.
Did they cover him to hide the hideous wool cut the shearer gave him?
Think about it.. the warming coat provides comfort, reduces shock, and maintains the sheep's temperature, until it fully adapts to the huge change.
It was bitten by a rabid.. rabbit.
literally me being weighed down & strangled by everything in my brain
😂 I can SO relate to that!
Looks like he's about to drop the dopest album
What a sweet baby!
Someone did a poor job of shearing there.
He shall recover from wounds
Rocky boi
-Ya talkin' to me? Talkin' to me???
Emotional
What’s all the blood on the neck and what was wrong with that other sheep at the back, looked sore! Not criticising, glad they helped him! Just wondering.
Excuse my ignorance but do sheep “shear” in the wild? Are there a bunch of wild sheep somewhere in this situation?
Domestic ones have been bred for generations to produce high quantities of wool but this is not the case with wild sheep like the bighorn.
Must be freezing after that cut
Big sheep !
Is this is how sheep used to look like in the wild?
What did sheep do before farmers came and cut their fleeces?
They didn't grow coats like that before domestication. Sheep have been bred to produce wool year round and need to be shorn at least once a year to maintain their health.
They should have given him a part in a Sci-Fi movie before the fleece cut
0:08 That's Men's hairstyle in the 18th Century.
1:03 blood from her neck ?😨
Looks more like skin irritation than cut skin
And the sheep’s male
It is interesting to see though, just how much wool can actually grow on a single sheep.
0:03 When i been at school, but i don't wanna nobody i see.
They probably got two stacks of wool after having cut his hair. Now they can craft lots of carpets to decorate their houses. Nice.
How do you do, fellow minecrafter?
Is it just me or the barber/shearer could have done better...?
Here we have the walking coliflower
Omg 😱
Glad someone did not use it for food
Awh man cute asf ~~
Feeling very lite acter watching thinking i am sheep
So much wool :0
Longer shearing video please!!!
У меня один вопрос: что у Баарака с горлом?
I guess they never cottoned onto it eh 😉 🐑
He woolened have know what was happening.
@@markgreen4612 quit it with these really baad jokes
@@bensblues but, but...he was fleeced!
Nice
I wonder if the extreme wool protected him from predator
Would you want to navigate 80 lbs of wool for a small meal? 😆
Imagine finding this sheep in the wild
They also found a old wild boar and named it Donald.
now that’s what I call an overcoat... jonny..
Breaking news: sanctuary workers fleece native Australian of 78 pounds.
I gave you a pity thumbs up 😆
Only if....
That’s atleast worth 2 shulker boxes of beds.
Is it rescued or captured😂😂😂
I seen that
That sheep must've felt baaaaaa-d before being shaved
I'm sorry
You are excused
The worst plot twist I'd want to read is if Baarack ended up freezing to death.
Which is why they put it in a little coat at the end.
Who’s the heartless master to treat the sheep like that? Is the sheep be treated the strayed sheep?
If not, the master should be punished and be charged to the cruelties to the animals.
It could be that he was spooked by a predator & lost his flock.
He would have escaped and got lost in the bush / outback.
@@kelliv2995 Is the sheep lost the flock for a long time? The sheep was living by himself for over 5 years. It is common in Australia, isn’t it?
The sheep escaped and the farmer didn't find it again. It hasn't been mistreated.
@@FortoFight Barracks is a bred sheep and I am sure he is lucky to escape and be rescued.
Baarack OLamba
Why I am happy when she got hair cut?
거의 3분의 1 크기가 됐네요 털미는거 보니까 시원합니다 ㅎㅎ
Wow
edgars mission
Is john crace his twin,???
I wish i could lose this much weight by shearing 😕
Don't show this to PETA....
Love u from kashmir gurdian for this type of post
Ay what happened to his neck?
The wool can twist after a time or, (Like an ingrown hair.) the barber got just a little too close! It can happen!
@@ghostladydarkling3250 he can heal from it at least, I mean with that much wool cutting it off is going to be hard.
He is cute.
Proper lockdown growth
This is not a sheep. This is a silly man in a fur coat in need of a haircut.
Kind of satisfying to watch it being cut off
😥🥰
He wa lucky not to have been gotten australian brambles in the wild..
Turtle Sheep
That reminds me. I need get a haircut.
Maybe his owners went vegan.
Dreadlocks sheep
Omg
🤗🙋🏼♂️💞🌿
Obama Voice: If you like your wool. you can keep your wool
Bleeding everywhere poor animal!! They could have contract an experience person to do this. What a shame for the “ sanctuary”. Obviously animals are not that safe there.
Disgusting
NOW SOON HE WILL BE ON SOMEONE,S DINNER PLATE
