That’s quite a few blankets.
I’m itchy now...
Trevor was hoarding!!!
Somebody pulled the wool over somebodies eyes...
Love it! Of course, if he HAD fallen off a cliff, I’ll bet he would have bounced with all that fleece and been barely injured!
Wool-blind...I guess this IS the case of the wool being pulled over the eyes...I never thought about it, but that has to be the origin of the saying!
That's surprising.
And I'm glad they had a blanket handy.
““Sheep get quite docile when they’re being shorn,””
Nowadays you can’t even read a feelgood story without politics being being written into it.
More here...
Modern sheep must be bred for big, fast fleece?
Seems to me lugging that around in the wild would put the poor critters at an evolutionary disadvantage...
Unless a fleece that thick is a sheepy version of Kevlar. The predators just bounce off...?
Come to think of it, Shrekapo did okay for six years, didn’t he...
Handsome animal!
Wonder what’s been done with the wool...
Just don't get how those sheep trade their beautiful sweaters for that chintzy little man-made coat....
I love Merino wool sweaters.

If wool blindness is possible I guess other body functions can get blocked too. I’ll bet this sheep was pretty fragrant.
Wonderful story! He must have been soooo relieved.
Watching the dogs round up the sheep is fun. There is a tourist farm just north of Queenstown on the lake that has some sheep and Jill the sheepdog rounds them up for fun. they use their eyes to direct the sheep.

They need to sheer the obnoxious prime minister.
