Nothing new about sheep that shed their wool, the Wiltshire is one of them and at least 3000 years old, the Romans supposedly took the breed with them when they invaded Britain. And then of course all sheep would originally have dropped their wool before mankind bred it out of most of them.

Angora goats do this naturally, as do mountain goats. And they give LOTS of wool. Problem is, it doesn’t come off all at once, so you have to gather it from all over the pasture, and by that time it’s dirty.
