Trojan cow

The Trojan cow is a project embarked upon by Fred the Farmer and is his excuse for needing all of the wool given to him by players who complete the Sheep Shearer quest. It's possible that one reason Jagex changed the quest to involve black wool as opposed to white wool was so that Fred could make the Trojan cow's black markings. The only reference to the Trojan cow is in the 8th Postbag from the Hedge, and the image which was included implies that Fred actually completed the Trojan cow, thus he must need the wool for a different as yet unknown reason now.
