0004093: Sheep, once shorn, cannot be shorn a second time
I have two sheep whose "white wool is extremely long", yet every time I attempt a shearing, it gets cancelled due to "No creature". I believe they have each been shorn precisely once, but I cannot 100% confirm that.
Get sheep.
Shear sheep.
Wait.
Try to shear sheep again.
No tags attached.

Do you have a save for this one? I remember specifically sitting and waiting for it to happen and shearing again, so I'll probably need it (it's also possible I broke something later on). You can upload them at dffd.wimbli.com.

Oh, and some people have suggested that destroying and rebuilding the farmers' workshops might work around this. So far I've found that to be extremely unreliable -- sometimes it works, but often it doesn't. In this particular save, destroying all 3 farmers' workshops and rebuilding them had no effect.

Maybe they have to be rebuilt after another animal arrives on the map. The one case where I know it worked, some animals arrived (pets of a migrant wave) while I was destroying/building.

It was a text problem -- they'll become shearable eventually. I fixed the text for next time.
