I saw a post about a sheep that escaped owners/shearing for years and its wool was out of control. Have sheep ever existed in the wild without someone to shear them?

Soay sheep naturally shed their wool ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soay_sheep](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soay_sheep)). They are a fairly “primitive” breed, but are domesticated.

Soay is not particularly easy to get to though.
