Mullet trend catches on in Gippsland as 'Fuzzy' the sheep adopts bold new 'haircut'

Fuzzy the sheep has a flash new haircut to match his personality.

On Bekk Kasidiaris's family farm in Gippsland, there is one sheep that stands out from the rest, both in looks and temperament.

For his first shear, upon request from the Kasidiaris family, "Fuzzy" was given a mullet.

"He just popped his head up and, oh my God, we just couldn't stop laughing for the rest of the day," Ms Kasidiaris said.

Fuzzy had a rough start to life.

His mother had triplets but he was the only one that survived and his mother also died during the birth.

However, since getting his mullet, Ms Kasidiaris says Fuzzy has a newfound confidence.

"Ever since he got his haircut he just struts around like he owns the joint," she said.

More dog than sheep

Despite his brashness, Fuzzy doesn't enjoy being around other sheep on the farm, once attempting to escape the grazing paddock when placed with the rest of the flock.

"He saw what they were, and who they were, and [he] ran back towards us through the gate," Ms Kasidiaris said.

"Unfortunately, he got his head stuck in the gate so he broke one of his horns."

Fuzzy much prefers company of the dogs on the farm and is often seen behaving more like a dog than sheep.

"If you don't give him what he wants, or he can't get in somewhere … he literally paws at the back door," Ms Kasidiaris said.

While not a traditional sheep, Fuzzy is much beloved by Ms Kasidiaris.

"He's given people so much joy … everyone loves him."
