Shrek (sheep)

Common card · No. 432656

Shrek (27 November 1994 – 6 June 2011) was a Merino wether belonging to Bendigo Station, a sheep station in Bendigo, Central Otago, New Zealand. He gained international fame in 2004, after he avoided being caught and shorn for six years. Merinos are normally shorn annually, but Shrek apparently hid in caves, avoiding muster. He was named after the fictional ogre Shrek.
