"with all that wool he probably won't run as fast as he cou......"
1:57 I AM SPEED
Not to mention, he's also carrying an extra 18 kilos worth of weight around with him. "I'M THE JUGGERNAUT, BITCH"
😂 😂 😂
This is a sheep that has never missed leg day
The Ram has bad legs. Solution, chase him around and cause him more pain.
@@CopiousDoinksLLC this video is basically trying to gang up on the jug
He was alone in the bushes for 5 years...surviving fires, predators...damn, considering how social sheeps are this is absolutely incredible.
now if only humans can shed bad ideas easily and fix issues this easy :P
That sheep must have some serious balls to have done it
@@miksceihners50 he sure does have some huge balls, literally
No predators, his wool is so thick that no teeth could penetrate it 🤣🤣🤣
He is just too much of a vibe for predators to bite em.
"He's extremely gentle" body slams the sheep
mate thats just how you do things on the farm u try
Unfortunately that's what you need to do

LMAO! I'm sure that there is no other way but it's still funny!
Chris: “Where did he come from?”
Lady: “Legend has it …” 😂
That sheep literally looks like the cartoon version of a sheep. ☁️
the cloud- 💀
Except that cartoon sheep don't usually have balls the size of a small house
@Lampy does gaming LMAO i love this comment so much XD
*@**10:21** Is it just me or does he kind of look like Bob Parr aka Mr Incredible?*
@@1nvisible1 LMAO YEAH HE DOES KINDA LOOK LIKE THAT XD
That poor sheep, I wouldn't want to be in Australian heat with 5 coats on.
The disgusting part of that is often here in Tasmania there's not one tree.... They FREEZE in winter and COOK in summer....
Nobody especially the RSPCA Does a damn thing....
We also have flies that bite. Yet this state allows tail docking if cows....
You actually don't know how fleece works on sheep? The fleece is heating in winter and cooling coat in summer for sheep. However, in this case, it was way too much fleece. So he must have found a cool place to be in during summer.
And nuts like melons
@@Supergamer-hu5mp an obvious male reaction lmao
The wool insulates them from the heat
The wool is so heavy due to matting, it causes the sheep’s skin to tear when sheared. The sheep must be feeling heaven once he got that off from his body.
Not tear necessarily. The skin gets caught in the shears. Kinda like getting nicked while shaving
NONSENSE! This was a scandalously incompetent job. SHAMEFUL and disgusting.
@@megangreen274 No, it ISN'T. He should not have gone straight to the skin level. This guy is a HACK. SHAME on him!
)@@megangreen274
You are being rescued. Please do not resist.
What I find amazing is that sheep are social animals but Ben has survived on his own in the bush for 5 years. Psychologically a very strong guy.
Maybe not on his own entirely, but still a legend
And what's the first thing our lad does after a procedure everyone was worried for him about? Finds a place to take a leak. As Australian as they come.
Guy that’s not a guy you saw those testicals it’s a man
Psychologically strong I guess but it also fucked him over haha. Too stubborn. If he'd got caught earlier he'd have been sheered earlier and not be in such a state.
@@goodday2139 I just wonder if maybe that's the reason why he eventually came back to civilization... He knew that he wasn't going to be able to last much longer on his own so he had to go find someone to help him. He saw a bunch of fellow sheep who looked healthier than he was, so he followed them and next thing you know, here we are.
If anyone's wondering why there's so many nicks, the overgrown wool causes some degree of matting which pulls the skin tight and up into the wool, so gets nicked because it's raised higher than other bits of skin. Sheep who are sheared regularly tend not to have this problem and thus tend to not get nicked except for the odd time the sheep wriggles. Him having so many nicks shows just how tightly the wool was pulling on his skin
Good job. Thanks Nia.
It's nice to see a sheep sheared kindly. All you ever see on TH-cam is sheep being brutalized, punched and kicked senseless sometimes, while being sheared.
@@susankelly5585 Um... what kind of videos are you watching...
no, I shear sheep and have had a sheep with about 3 years of growth, not as bad as this but not far off and this guy went WAY to fast. Not a good job.
@@vinnykwon781 Yeah, I've never seen any shearing videos on TH-cam with the shearers punching and kicking animals senseless. Unless of course it's one of those deceptive videos trying to lie to people and get them to go anti-sheep rearing. Why would anyone pay for a shearer who was less than gentle on the sheep. Some sheep (Romney's come to mind) have very wrinkled skin, and they're tough to shear without some nicks. But shearing is done in a way to help the animals. There's no point in working with animals (shearer or shepherd) if you don't have respect for the animal.
After you see this video, you realize just how strong sheep are, like damn imagine carrying around 18kg on your back every second of every day and still being very agile and very quick and on top of that surviving in the wild on your own for 5 years with it on your back surviving bush fires and coming back unharmed, that is ridiculously impressive
Comparing the weight of a sheep's wool to a human carrying a backpack is unfair. The weight of the wool is spread almost evenly around the animal, while a backpack applies stress only on the back and shoulders of a human, making it much tougher to carry. A better analogy would be a human wearing many coats.
@@johnhighway9397 while yes you're right, 18kg is still 18 kg, put on 18kg worth of coats and try to walk for 10 seconds, this sheep was able to run around with that on him for 5 years and still survived with barely any scratch and on top of that the wool was pulling his skin which made it very uncomfortable and painful for him AND he was just surviving on his own even though sheep are extremely social
@@yasserboumediane1010
I agree, I wasn't implying that what the sheep went through was unimpressive
not to mention the arthritic foreleg…
With that much of wool on top, even a hungry tiger would not be able to sink its teeth on Ben 😂
So is a lot of wool a good defense mechanism
I heard about another forgotten sheep with an overgrown fleece that was rescued. It was said that wolves had tried to eat him but couldn’t get through the fleece. Not sure about the veracity of that story, though.
Nice working bro
So to survive dangers, just be soft and fluffy
@@MaggieTheCat01 Kinda late, but to a certain point, its actually believable, for example, when big amounts of (in this case) wool get dirty, they start getting hard, now imagine trying to go through 30 centimeters of stone-like wool, it must be hard aint it?
By Dragon Ball Z logic, this must be the strongest lamb in the universe now.

It’s crazy how this sheep has so much weight on him and it still took three guys to hold him down
Imaging it trying to again but 18 kg lighter and better legs
Probably has developed some good muscles with all that weight.
@@cornishchickens6778 he’d be a mini bull
just kneel onnits neck
He is a ram lol
I love how the other sheep are just in awe of him when they gather round. "He is the One. The Dodger of Razors. Behold the scent of an unshorn mane. He is a master of his own destiny."
Ben is a lone wolf, literally in sheep’s clothing 😂🐺🐑
Ben went from wearing three winter coats to wearing a tank top. I’m sure he was a little cold until his temperature regulated
Looked like a pot-belly sheep
Down to a tank top 😂😂🤣🤣
More like joined the nudist colony. :)
@@samreallylovescoffee 😎😎😂😂😂🤣🤣
🐑😂😂
Couldn’t believe the absolute size of those coconuts 🥥
Almost as long as his legs!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
That's what she said
@@sehdevlakshay lmao
should’ve have seen the pig video bru
for those wondering why the sheep had so many nicks after the shearing, its because since the wool is so large it drags the skin down and is sometimes nearly impossible not to nick a few times, this was a very bad case. its better that it was removed and he had some nicks rather than dying from keeping it
Yeah it’s like us guys shaving our balls…. That’s the last place you wanna get nicked
Couldn't they have reduced the thickness of the wool on one day and done the "shaving" so close to the skin on another? Seems like if they really cared, they could have made it easy for the sheep.
@@TheKomentor Well you can imagine that then you have to go over all the areas more than once, so you're basically subjecting the sheep to DOUBLE or TRIPLE the amount of time being sheered by super loud and frightening clippers. Hence you would cause even more psychological trauma. This is a clear example of a suggestion that appears to be empathetic on the surface but is ultimately even more cruel.
@@TheKomentor "If they really cared" -- seriously? There's no way you care more about that sheep than a literal animal rescue sanctuary and vet, people who dedicated their lives to helping animals. How presumptuous of you
They say it takes massive balls to be able to survive in the wild for 5 years
This sheep proved it
What I love about Chris is when other vets say it's not possible, Chris gives them a second chance. He is so caring, loving and resourceful
We hear this a lot from our patients, we always go above and beyond to help!
Amazing 🥰
I agree. That's what I like about chris too, it's very life affirming.
I am really impressed by his knowledge, no veterinarian in Sweden where I live, I have seen this. He is also not judgmental if the animals get the wrong food, but he is happy to show. Absolutely wonderful vet is Chris ❤
I once met a veterinarian here in Sweden who was fine when one of our dogs got a wound in the eye. But otherwise I have felt uncomfortable going to the vet. Although I take good care of my dogs.
He’s a testament to the wool to live
(Groan)
He’s also a testes-ment
:)
Amazing
Stop fleecing the public.
1:57 I’ve replayed this so many times, his speed is incredible 😂 I’ve never seen a cloud running before
Crazy how I can feel it every time he flinches. What would this 6th sense be called, empathy?
5:06 Very gentle and compassionate.. Literally WWE suplexes the sheep 20 seconds later
compared to what other shearers might do... That's gentle.
Lol
@@fabledlight908 actually it's the exact same technique used by almost every shearer. It's the quickest, easiest way to get a sheep off balance. Was actually more difficult with this one just because of his size though
@@duncan2172 the entire treatment is more gentle than most shearers, that's why he works for them lmao
@@fabledlight908 it's the exact same process. Even if we think about this purely from a selfish point of view, shearing sheep is hard work and costs money so you really want it to be over quickly. Sheep are far easier and quicker to shear when they are comfortable and relaxed rather than trying to kick you. Shearing causes very little stress and is painless when done by any half decent shearer
"We found the most companionate guy to do the job"
3 seconds later: * Guy wrestles with sheep z
I was about to say he preformed some wrestling take down
I was looking for this comment cause I thought the same thing haha
It's a skill to hold any sheep that way, but this guy would be incredibly difficulty
despite everything thats happened to him, its amazing that he still has the wool to live
Everyone is wondering how he survived 5 years on his own...?
🥥🥥
Nuff said 😂
If anything, that wool is probably what saved him from predators all those years
You're probably right. They can't identify his head very well from the rest of the wool, and that wool kept them from being able to bite down at all.
Exactly!
Good point.
When I was 12 (now 70) we lived down the street from our vet. My father’s nickname for the vet was St. Frances. Our cat developed distemper and my parents couldn’t afford the cost. So I agreed to help him out in exchange. It was such an amazing experience.
Wow that is so cool that the vet did that, and that you were willing to do that.
I felt like I was the luckiest child in the world...I loved animals and wanted to be a human dr. It still informs me, almost 6o years later, when my beasties get sick,
@@sharonkaczorowski8690 wow that is really cool.
Aww y'all are a bunch of sweet people! I wish there were more people like you
I m sure it was amazing 👏did u want to be a vet after that experience?
Is it possible to get an update on Ben Hill? What a strong survivor. You all did an outstanding job thanks for bring us along .
Hello Deborah, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??
@@trevorjennings721 *You're* not Ben Hill. We wanna hear from the sheep!
That vet is so handsome, he looks exactly how I imagine an Australian adventure man would look 😅
Im moving to Australia if the men look like him.... 🔥😉
That was the craziest thing I’ve ever seen and that poor sheep most have felt so much better after his massive hair cut well done to everyone involved
I heard if maggots and fly eggs will dig in if they're not sheared
@@daisyperez6708 That's correct, they will. They'll also die of overheating, among other things.
Whats funny is that now the sheep has big balls and nothing can cover it lol
When he enter back with the herd they are gonna be like " daaaaaaaaaaam Ben"
Not to worry, he won't have them for long!
An impressive amount of wool, and amazing that there wasn't any significant skin infection under there! Sheep absolutely must be sheared regularly, we've bred them so that they need it, and not shearing a sheep can have dire consequences. The fact that Ben survived five years like that is incredible and a testament to his determination. I'd imagine the strain on his joints was immense as well.
Shear away his wool, his "extras" are even more impressive. Guess they can always breed him: hardy, survival genes in the pool won't hurt anything.
I actually am hired to work 2 hours as helping in the vet. Different one though, but I helped a little kitty live.
That's fantastic!
@@BondiVet Thank you!
I'm glad you were there. 🥰
I love my cat but he don’t love me well I think he dose but he always try’s escaping home so I guess he dosnt .?.
@@tim_tm1115 Some cats wanna be the alpha or stuff like that. So maybe if you get him or her something that could help with that. It can help, I have dog who was like that and I just let her on her little stairs that lead on a platform inside our house
Oh so he wasn’t neglected/abused? It's really incredible that he is alive. 😲 Thanks for helping him. 🥰
These animals are lost from the flock for a very long time. It
@@mariaadelaidemarta2856 Okay good to know
A true survivor !!
The vet looks kind of like an Aussie Christopher Reeve. That poor sheep. Hopefully he feels much better. And is roaming free and happy in the countryside 🤗

If you look carefully in the beginning, all the other sheep follow him. Even they are amazed at how much wool he has.
Ben is a character. What a legend of a sheep. I wonder what happened to him to make him so adamant to not be sheared. I hope Ben has a happy long life. And God bless these kind people for looking out for him.
He is still a big boy after losing 40 pounds of wool. Good job.
Emphasis on "Big Boy"...
Im the 200th like!
July 26, 3:29 AM North carolina time, 2021. Cant prove me wrong now m@te
ey
That is going to make a whole lot of sweaters.
Yes, but not until its gone through rigorous cleaning, and weaving. After that, it'll be useful for that, but you never want to try to make a sweater out of dirty wool, it's definitely NOT sanitary.
Many ugly christmas sweaters.
@@shawbros Wouldn't have it any other way 🤣
@@shawbros They do not wear sweaters on Christmas in Australia
That thing is probably riddled with bacteria and infection and god knows what else. Goes in the garbage.
So many cuts. Some shearers talk about how to maneuver the shears to prevent the cuts. Oh well.. it's done and so much better!!!
Hello dear, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??
Thank you for taking care of this sheep and all of our beautiful 4-legged critters!
Hello Terri, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??
Well, hate to say it but I've had to do the 'full body sheep tackle'. My family had a Rambouillet that had snuck out of shearing 3 years. Problem with Rabouillet rams is they can weigh in at 300 to 400 lbs easy. I'm 150 max. Wound up going after him with a pair of old fashioned hand shears. Took forever but after the initial stress of capture he settled well that way. I know the electric shears are faster but sometimes taking time is easier on both. We did good. So did you guys! They always need their feet trimmed a bit cause they can end up not being worn off well because of not moving around as much. (Sorry auto correct gets me every time)
Great reply...death to Spellchecker/Autocorrect
Props to old mate with the dreads for the stellar tackle
He is my crush after that
Well done Tony Adams!
Hello Rosie, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??
The girl was brave enough to come in front and embrace the sheep without fear of any injuries to her own self. Bravo !
look closely, its a guy with a rasta ponytail. i thought it was a woman too,
That sheep is going to feel so much better
I guess it makes sense he could take the shock of being shorn after all he's been through
hooray. using shorn instead of sheared. I have never heard of sheep being sheared before - only shorn.
Who else finds these so satisfying
He’s a testament to the “wool to live”, missed a great opportunity for a pun.
5:59 LMAO I WAS LAUGHING SO HARD! The other men are jealous of the size of it 😏
Ben the five legged sheep 🤣🤣
I love how she says "Legend has it" as if the sheep is some sort mythical being
I’m surprised that this place had two sheep with huge fleece!!! Ben and Alex! The sheep with 90 lbs of fleece on him!!!
That is incredible. Ben is really good at survival, but he needs to be pampered and know love from humans.
And thats why human beings are arrogant disgusting creatures.
@@ax2643 sheep have to have humans to sheer them... They've been bread to be like that..
I thought he was gonna say the balls were causing his limp. I'm glad they didnt even bring up cutting them off. I imagine they did eventually though.
It's too late (fortunately) You castrate when going into puberty
@@TheQuallsing naw you can castrate it anyway, which is probably better for him in the long run, less aggressive, and no babies for the rescue to have to worry about, most rescues are already tight on space..
@@fabledlight908 I know you CAN castrate them late. But he will ALWAYS have high testosterone levels at his age. So unless they get infected or cancerous there’s no point. He’ll still ACT like a fully intact Ram.
@@TheQuallsing wrong, you can get castrated at any age.
@@emilywhittle1420 The testosterone levels go down to almost zero after castration at any age (the adrenal glands synthesize a small amount, the testes the rest). The amount of subsequent behavior change will be less with older animals though because it has become habitual.
Vet guy, I'm an American, raised in the suburbs, yet, went out to the country every summer growing up. I've heard of sheep shearing and never got to see it done. WOW! Great job on that sheep! Doug
As a knitter who did some research that amount of wool would create about 2,625 yards of worstes weight yarn. Which is enough for a whole sweater or a blanket.
That poor boy with all those cuts!! 😢😘
That’s what I was thinking, is that normal?
@@haileyduplantis5430 no it’s not normal, but this wasn’t a “normal” shearing.
@@Pysslis very true, thank you!
@@Pysslis Even great shearers can cut the sheep occasionally when shearing; some sheep have lots of "crinkles" too. I used to watch the shearers, and they'd dab something on the cuts; it would also depend on how accustomed the sheep were to being sheared. Or how strong the sheep were (versus the shearer) if they struggled. I practically grew up in the shearing shed. Shearers end up with terrible chronic back pain from wrestling the sheep into position... some sheep are just ornery.
The wool was so heavy it pulled the skin out and allowed for the skin to get kicked each time
Ben is packing HEAT
that wifey, she has a real imprint in her heart for animals, she obviously feels a connection like you would another human.
never heard of a sheep stressing out during shearing!
By anime logic, after getting rid of the extra wool, this lamb is now the fastest
He was training with Piccolo out in the wasteland... XD
It’s like Rock Lee when he took off his weights and the ground exploded under their weight
This is why any vegan who says it's wrong to shear a sheep needs a slap!
Any vegan who says anything about any animal needs a slap!
@@Lucas_Tulic Haha yep!
Wild sheep before domesticated never grew wool like this. It came about as a result of breeding. These sheep are entirely a product of human intervention.
@@adulthumanfemale8666 Correct, and without those sheep and their wool our ancestors would have froze to death and we wouldn't be here. Regardless, sheep need to be sheared.

So, Ben Hall was on the lamb for five years,he is probably feeling mighty sheepish that he has so much wool. It probably would fill more than three bags full.

I’ve been following Edgar’s Mission and never knew they were in Australia! 🙄😂. They are a wonderful rescue. Thank you for helping these animals.
When I was in my teens in the 70s I drove by this farm many times and thought what I was seeing were bales of hay that were left out in the field for a few years,until one time as I drove by they were moving. I was glad the next time they were sheared. People like those owner shouldn’t have animals

To the max. (Jan Griffiths).
Wild rams will cover great distances, leaving one herd to join another. Sometimes they will stay solitary for long periods of time, and spend that time fighting other rams. This is probably a natural defense against inbreeding. Domesticated sheep retain these instincts. Whenever there is a sheep discovered who hasn't been shorn in years, it's a ram. It makes you wonder how many of these helpless animals perish in the wilderness and are never seen until you find a skeleton with shreds of wool stuck in the bushes around it.

Good point Micky. Hadn't thought of that. 👍
It amazes me how calm they are through the process
Poor thing! Carrying around all of that wool for 5 years. I’m so happy you were able to shear him but I felt terrible seeing all of the blood and nicks to his skin. I hope he’ll be okay and that the shot helps his arthritis and the spray prevents any infection. Good luck Ben! Have a long and happy life at your new home. ❤❤
