Suzy the super-sized feral sheep who spent years evading farmers in the King Country is now minus her exceptional cloak.

RNZ Rural reporter Maja Burry joined Susie Ferguson on Morning Report to tell us about Suzy the sheep - 14.6kg lighter after being shorn in front of a 100-strong crowd at The Wool Shed in Masterton on Sunday.

The never-shorn Perendale-Coopworth cross was recently captured on a remote bluff in the Mapiu district south of Te Kuiti, by Amie Ritchie and Karla Clark.
