A sheep wandering in Australia has more than 75 kilograms of extra wool that it weighs. The sheep named Baarack received a much-needed shear through Edgar’s Mission Farm Sanctuary after rescuing him earlier this month.
Under the heavy fleece, Baarack was actually underweight and bouncing now, thanks to his new friends.
“Baarack is becoming more confident every day!” A TikTok from the sanctuary rings.
“That Baarack, though he is a prey animal and has had so little contact with our species, will now turn and look at us, moving forward curiously to touch our outstretched hand, leaves us little doubt that he has the kindness we gave him, identified himself with something worth associating with, reads a post on the sanctuary’s Facebook page.
They outlined the love and care that Baarack provides.
‘To get rid of him from all the wool, the long and pointed grass seed that was stuck between his cornea and eyelid, which caused a nasty ulcer, removed, until the many hours we had carefully dozens and dozens of dogmatically determined grass seeds picked. Baarack, a being of reason, sees us as the good guys. ‘
Baarack was spotted in a forest by a property maintenance man doing work on a nearby property, a sanctuary employee said USA Today.
It appears that the sheep was once in possession, with an ear tag torn out, possibly by the thick fleece near his face.
According to experts, sheep must be sheared at least once a year to keep the wool sufficient for the animals and to prevent possible contamination.
