'Overgrown 'Baarack' the Sheep Loses 78-Pound Wool Fleece Before and After

'Baarack', a sheep with an overgrown 78 pound fleece () had been roaming in the wild in Australia for several years before returning and saved after a satisfying shearing. Rescuers saud the overburdened sheep, named Baarack, had been found “wandering in the rugged Victorian bushland” by a property maintenance man who took it to Edgar’s Mission in Lancefield, Victoria, in early February, the shelter said. In the video filmed by staff at Edgar’s Mission on February 5, Baarack struggles to balance himself under the weight of his matted and dirty fleece. “This is a good place to be, ole’ mate,” a man is heard telling the sheep. Edgar’s Mission told Storyful that Baarack was “doing so well” and accustoming to life at the shelter. “We truly believe that he understands what we have done for him has eased his life and turned it for the better,” they said. “For the time being he is setting in with equally lucky other rescued sheep.” Credit: Kyle Behrend via Stor
