Shrek,
The Very Woolly Sheep
The story of Shrek the sheep is known by lots of people. Shrek is such an interesting
animal. Newspaper and television reporters were keen to tell the story about
him. Shrek hadn’t been shorn for about 6 years, and his wool weighed about
27 kg. Six years is a long time for any sheep to be growing its wool. Most sheep
get shorn every year.
You might wonder why Shrek hadn’t been shorn every year like the other
sheep. He lived alone in a cave high in the hills where he wasn’t seen.
Each year dogs and people muster the sheep and bring them down from the hills.
Because there are so many sheep, if one sheep is missing it wouldn’t be
noticed.
This year the sheep were mustered like every other year. The dogs and musterers
were rounding up the sheep in the high country. Not all of the musterers were
men. Some were women. It was a woman musterer called Ann Scanlan who found Shrek.
Ann said that finding Shrek was one of the nicest things to happen to her.
Ann Scanlan grew up on a farm and has been mustering sheep for about 25 years.
In that time she had seen lots of sheep that looked much the same. To see one
that hadn’t been shorn for six years was very unusual. Ann said that Shrek
was a very strange looking wild sheep.
The sheep live on John Perriman’s farm in a place called Tarras. He never
had so many people interested in his sheep before. And now there were people
from all over the world who wanted to visit John’s farm. John was happy
for people to see Shrek. The money from Shrek’s wool would be used to help
sick children. |
