A sheep found wandering the streets of a small New South Wales town has undergone a dramatic transformation, shedding just over 10kg of wool after three years on the run.
Woody, a merino sheep, was discovered loitering at the Woodstock commons in the village of about 792 people on the central tablelands late last year. At some point he had escaped the shared community paddock and taken up residence near the local tip, relying on food and water left by residents.
