Shrek became famous after escaping his enclosure and evading the shearers for six years by hiding in caves.
Merino sheep are usually shorn annually but Shrek managed to escape the blade for six years straight.
When he was finally caught, the sheep was unrecognizable.
He looked like some biblical creature, said John Perriam, Shreks owner.
His fleece contained enough wool to make suits for 20 large men.
Shrek shot to fame immediately.
Shrek died in 2011 at the age of sixteen.
