What Wikipedia says

Shrek (27 November 1994– 6 June 2011) was a Merino wether belonging to Bendigo Station, a sheep station in Bendigo, 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.
