'Overgrown 'Baarack' the Sheep Loses 78-Pound Wool Fleece Before and After
'Baarack', a sheep with an overgrown 78 pound fleece (35.4kg) 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.”

I bet he felt like he was flying after losing all that wool. What a relief his poor legs must have felt.
Thank you to the young woman who held the sheep’s head and comforted her during the shearing.
Him.
@@durgesh7139 Aqqsccbqllkjbvvcvvbvvvv bbnmvnmnm
She is keeping him still.
I am so happy for him ❤❤❤
@Bertha Goldberg So am I. Terrible how people treat animals. HEARTLESS.
Love this! - someone consoling him during the shearing, a protective vest to shield him from the sun, + the end where he's looking healed and healthier. Well done!
It needed no consolation. It was in no distress. Animals aren't humans.
@@bigguy7353 and neither are you!!
Bigguy: you're an ass. They have terror and anxiety big time! Consoling, a gentle voice and touch calms them greatly. They are worth it!
They even cut him
@@isabelle12981I think a little skin irritation from the clippers was unavoidable with all that wool. I’m sure they put antibiotic on it to avoid infection. He probably doesn’t even feel it compared to the relief of getting rid of all that weight. It must have felt so good 😊
My favorite part is when the other sheep came up to greet the poor sheep as it got there, especially the one in the walker. So sweet!
Merci de l’avoir sauvé surtout laisser la vivre sa fin de vie paisiblement
Wow!!! I like how the girl comforted him while he was being sheared! Thank you ALL!!! 💪👍💖🐑
Big love to her and the team.
I want to marry her!! I LOVE her❤❤🤗
I will refer to her as "my love".

And yet you still deny the true ppl and believe in a white Jesus. You're fools.
Wow! Imagine the relief of this poor sheep. Thank you! ❤️
With that much matting and weight of fleece, even the shearing is painful, as the fleece that is being shorn and peeled away pulls harder on the skin. Poor Baarack was an absolute trooper and an angel for not fighting or panicking during that ordeal.
He suffered so much, glad they saved him. Must be a huge weight off his shoulders!
wasnt it 77 pounds of wool? sure is an insane amount of weight gone
Literally
Wish I could take weight off my shoulders like that sheep!!
And his back and his head and his behind

"If we could talk to the animals, just imagine it". He could tell a great story! I love how he's casually greeted by a disabled sheep in its wheelchair, a lamb and a dog. Great video. Happy ending.
Poor little thing. I'm so glad he was rescued and loved how the young lady was comforting him. Was a little concerned that he was bloody but I'm sure that couldn't have been helped. I bet he feels so much better now!
I'm sure a couple of raw spots was well worth the unexplainable freedom for the little guy. He'll heal, in time 💖
Sssss
It’s due to nicking most likely
Yes sadly that comes with having too much wool it grows so much to the point that it pulls on their skin so nicking is inevitable and bound to happen when shearing them.
I wondered if the blood on the sheep's skin was caused by a mistake or because there was too much hair. 🤔 😣
Such a beautiful Barrack. You guys have made rest of his life breathable. Bless all of you for giving him comfort 🙏
Э
“Baa Baa Baarack”😉
He looks so happy now and he was so good during shearing.
That poor sheep. It was like he was encased in his own wool. Poor guy. Beautiful job shearing him. I hope he is able to live the life he deserves now.
Wow!!! I like how the girl comforted him while he was being sheared! Thank you ALL!!!
Yes that was the best. Unfortunately most shearing is not done with such care.
The girl was his emotional support human. I loved that part too. 😊
I love the fact that the lady held the sheep's head for comfort
So does everybody else!
That must of been so hot and heavy to walk around with. Thank you for saving this poor baby
So glad these lovely people were able to rescue and help him.

I wish we could have seen all of it. He has this look in his eyes like I know they will help, on my gosh what a sweetheart he is!! 🐑💜
Ya until slaughter time
This is my sort of TV. I could watch this all day.
After getting all that heavy wool off, despite it giving her very red sores, she went about her day and ate. I'm glad the sheep was rescued
The sores were from the wool being so heavy and tearing her skin not the clippers.
Thanks@@marykuettner752 lol I was wondering.
Bless the people that help these animals.......
It feels so nice to see him graze and be merry. Thank you for understanding innocent mute souls and their need. ❤️❤️
He's not mute, just... there is nothing to talk about.
@@vatrweaver5169 i stand corrected. Even though they communicate differently than us, their communications are far more effective. No certainly not mute.
@@chaishasa Sooo that question is now.. moot? Sorry.. my baaaad. 🐑
I'm glad they gave him a coat xx bet he was so cold afterwards ,,, free but cold 😥
Actually relief the sheep feeling because the Wool was literally heat he need some cold air also i think the coat was safe
@@pixellizard9021 Yeah the sheep must've been really hot after all these years of wearing that big ass fleece so I think it needed some cold air
@@pixellizard9021 it could have been colder for him since he got used to it being really hot, but I'm not a pro
@@Orion_44 animals can adapt to temperatures, but i think it would take much longer than how long he had all that wool
The coat could also be to protect injured or sensitive skin. The oils, weight, pulling, and potentially bugs from that matted fleece can do a lot of damage.
Poor, sweet boy. So happy he was saved. He was so grateful while he was being clipped, snuggled the lady holding him.
read the description -- he was living in the wild
These people are angels! Thank you so much for taking care of the sheep.
We are like this sheep we carry negative thoughts and past which burden our present, when we leave them we get the freedom from our thoughts 😊👍
💯%true
And we don't even realise that burden 🙌🏼
Yes bro
True words . our guilt from past is killing us from deep inside😭😭😭 it is like cancer eating us slowly without even knowing it 😭😭😭

Imagine how strong his legs are from holding up that much weight
Wow. I didnt Even think about that.
Im waiting for a offended feminist comment :P
@@FentonWorksDE bruh what?
@@FentonWorksDE how is that comment sexist?
@@adammusa982 his legs. I don’t care, but I wait for that one person who’s screaming „IT COULD BE A FEMALE“ I dunno, maybe it’s only a thing in Germany
Sweet little boy! I almost cried when he walked in his fresh stall after his haircut and he could see his new friends there cheering him on. He is just the sweetest boy! Thank God for his rescue!💙
Oh bless him, what a burden. I can't decide whether he'll have really strong muscles from carrying that ..or arthritis? I'm so pleased he was caught and sheared. I hope he has a happy safe life.
At least he won’t have osteoporosis. lol
probably both lol strong muscles short term, massive joint problems later in life casue they got so worn out when carrying all that weight
I hope the sheep has fully healed all it’s wounds while it got sheared
Do you think a place that takes care of disabled sheep wouldn’t care for any wounds they inadvertently inflicted or any damaged being lost in the woods may have caused this creature?
did you see any wounds? (the worst the shears do is a small nick and the oil in the sheeps bottom coat which is left on soothes any nicks it may get)

I am so glad he/she has a blanket on. The shock of removing all that fleece could be hard on this poor fella. Sure glad to see the shearing was done 👍👍👍
Very Nice ... 😊 Sheep is Happy, no harm done just excessive coat off your back

Looks so relieved now! Thank you for caring and comforting this lovely being.
That is so so sad, thank you for what you do, Im sure you have blessed so many people, and obviously, so many sheep as well, I wish on your shorts, you would show how happy the sheep are once it’s off ❤️
Sheep is like Boy I feel 10 years younger!

You can see how happy the sheep is at the end. It went straight for the hay.
He is on your plate and you paid for his murder.

Is this sheep still alive? It is such a miracle that it survived. Thank you for sharing this story. I am so glad if the sheep is living.

I’m just glad he’s all better now that he had all that fleece shaved off of him and now enjoying his time in the sanctuary with other sheep.
I can see cuts on his skin from the shearing. Hope he feels good, better and best soon 🥰
Mmmmm
@@coulibalyabdoulaye9615 m.
Why didthey allow the wool to grow so much for viewing and then abusing the poor sheep with all those cuts and bruises can imagine the amount of cuts under the cloth cover
@@ikimanwilson9970 read the desc
You can see how the weight of the wool was already hurting the skin around his neck before they began shearing him; he probably had other injuries elsewhere. I'm shocked he wasn't more injured.
Poor baby! You could see the wool pulling at his neck. The wool came off and the baby had a new walk 🥰
Humans made him like this. Natural evolution would not have. Thank you to the humans who saved him. Another reason not to mess with nature. I'm so glad he's safe now and unburdened 🙏🏼
how true, exacly !
Бедненький сам себе не верит что так легко стало ему ❤здоровья ребята Вам 🤲🙏❤молодцы что так помогаете животным🤲🙏❤
Bravo to all those that helped this sheep and the shearer for his skill, patience and most of all kindness.
The sheep got lost. No one let the sheep get like that on purpose; there just wasn’t anyone to shear the will in the wild.
Oh thank you. I thought the sheep that had gotten lost was a different sheep I will correct my comment.
@@NYSESTRA There have been several stories of sheep that got lost and had record-breaking fleeces by the time they were recaptured, so you probably did hear about a different sheep that had gotten lost! This one had also.
@@calliarcale yes I know thanks

Gracias a todos quienes trabajan ahi para salvar a esos animalitos ,que labor de puro amor❤
Thank you for helping the animal. ❤
Овечка в шоке , не верит своему избавлению . Спасибо спасателям.
I really don’t think that being sheared so rough was necessary, it bleeding everywhere. You take your time and trim sections slowly. Thank you so much for caring and helping
You are correct
ya right. hope more careful.. it must be hurt
They where NOT being rough whatsoever.
The wool he had on him could have killed him, how they treated him was very kind , the folds of his skin under that amount of wool is hard to shear without nicking him is near impossible. I have treated hundreds of flystruck sheep over the years, you want to talk pain and suffering look at that then.
@@BigMacOrange 3:08 looks like blood to me. Sure ain't chocolate 🤨
Oh my! 😱 Just unbelievable! Poor thing! Wow! i can’t imagine how relieved the poor thing was afterwards. Bless you! ❤️

I am so thankful for all the help and love this little soul got. All these lovely caring people and not to forget, Bondi vet. The lady holding the sheep's head and petting it while it is being shaved is such a big emotional help to the sheep. She gave the sheep reassurance and love, so so important. Thank you all so much. What a great team. Now it is done and there is one more little happy soul in this world.
Thank you very much for helping this gentle sheep. God bless you and your family. 💖💖💖
Oh my gosh that’s , he has a better life now thank you for taking care of him

Minecraft sheep dropping two blocks of wool always seemed a bit unreal. Well, not anymore
Remember a block in Minecraft is a cubic meter.
@@OneNationUnderPug we can assume the density of a wool block is very low though, because it can float in water.
probs can go up to build limit with that much wool
I mean they ARE wild they never get sheered
MC sheep Drop between 1 to 3 Blocks of Wool if they're Sheared....
Made me sad to see all the nicks and cuts but I know it comes with the territory. Glad he's doing better. Looks like an old man. So adorable
Such a relief for this poor sheep …. Bless you
That poor animal, so glad he's been helped. May his life be wonderful ❤
Thank God those people helped that poor animal!!!
Poor guy! I can’t imagine how heavy all that wool must have been. And restrictive too! I’m really happy Baarack is comfortable and being cared for now.
Thank you for his help😍✨
The heat under that, the weight pulling on his skin...terrible suffering, and never a sound. so glad he's better now.
