A sheep found wandering in Australia weighed more than 34 kilograms of wool. The sheep, called Baarack, received a much-needed shearing from Edgar’s Mission Farm Sanctuary after they rescued him earlier this month.
Under the heavy wool, Baarack was really underweight and is now recovering, thanks to his new friends.
“Baarack is getting more confident every day!” a TikTok from the sanctuary reads.
“That Baarack, despite being a prey, and having had so little contact with our species, will now turn and look at us, curiously walking to touch our outstretched hand, leaves us with little doubt that he associates the kindnesses that we have offered him with something worth associating “, says a post on the sanctuary’s Facebook page.
They detailed the love and care the employees gave Baarack.
“From ridding him of all that wool, removing the long, pointed grass seed that got stuck between his cornea and the eyelid that caused an unpleasant ulcer, until the many hours that we spent meticulously picking dozens and dozens of obstinately determined grass seeds. who made their way into their flesh, Baarack, a being of reason, sees us as the good guys. “
Baarack was seen in a forest by a property maintenance man who worked on a nearby property, a sanctuary official said USA today.
It seems that the sheep has already been possessed, with a drill that was pulled out, possibly by the thick fleece near its face.
Sheep need to be shorn at least once a year, according to experts, to keep the wool light enough for the animals and to prevent possible infections.
