New Zealand. Where men are men and the sheep are
scared.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.
Shrek's giant fleece - possibly the largest ever - is to be auctioned off for children's medical charities.
Poor Shrek. That outta teach her to stay hidden for a while.
