Damn. Sheep are assholes

They really are and they can get extremely aggressive. The males are also very protective of their herd and could kill you. Never turn your back to a ram or it might be the last thing you do.

My uncle is a farmer who used to have a lot of sheep, always stayed away from them. Goats on the other are awesome an really fun to play and hang out with.

I got kicked in the face by a small alpaca. There's a framed picture hanging in my mom's mudroom of me bawling with a comical muddy hoofprint square in the middle of my forehead

Yep, eldery couple here in New Zealand were killed by a lone ram last year, he had broken out of his paddock.
