What happened? Did you lose the coin toss?

I won!

It's a funny thing with the rams here. They are not what I would call aggressive, there is no malice involved, but if you come within a certain number of feet of the ewes the ram will try to knock you down. Not every time, but often enough.
When Phoenix was still alive (the sheep free range) you had to tell people not to go near Phoenix and if they did get knocked down they were to stay down. If you get back up before he wandered off, he would just knock you down again.
Fortunately he got bored quickly and you could move yourself out of range. Sometimes it was only a matter of being a few meters further back and he would be fine.

It sounds like the bad part of India to me. I also can't be gone that long.

I can't help but notice those large pointy things sticking out of her head.
I've looked at quite a few pictures of peoples rams and I think I've pulled a short straw here. I can't help noticing their rams horns all see to be pointing backwards..........they point the other way here.
Phoenix, the ram that used to be here didn't have any horns. They just didn't grow.
I've been knocked over by him more than I care to dwell on and even with no horns I limp for a couple of days.

What...? I'd love to see pictures of them! I'm sure glad my goats horns do not point forward, I wouldn't have survived a couple of Charlies "butts" The sheep horns pointing that way, is it abnormal or just how they are in Spain?

Luckily Chewy isn't aggressive with hers. She gets a little hooky around the feed, but not to injure just to make her way in. No one has ever been injured, luckily, but they're pretty smart and tend to get out of her way. Quite funny since she much smaller bodied

Okay, I'll try and take some pictures of the lot down the track.
I think forward facing horns is not uncommon in the Pyrenees mountain goats and rams.
