How have sheep existed in the wild without someone to shear them?

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?

Sheep were selectively bred to have more wool. They cannot live in the wild… for the most part. There are likely certain environments where they could survive, and over time, their offspring could adapt and move. But the current domesticated breed of sheep were in human care for many generations and wouldn’t do well on their own.
