Pull up a couch. It's cool in the Lounge. Just remember to be a good neighbor.

Goats worry me more than horses......

Anything with wheels is inherently dangerous. If you are concerned about your safety & well-being, I suggest walking, as a safe alternative

THAT IS HILARIOUS! Pretty scary in person I imagine! Technically a sheep, and probably a ram (male sheep with his parts intact).

If you did not see that ram coming and he hit you in the knees from the front or side, I imagine the injury could be a bit severe. Once the guy grabs the ram's horns, the ram did not seem to aggressive. Seems his only defense is the initial ram...I did not expect it to chase him down the road! Guess I don't know rams.

Twice I've been on the trail and faced down by a bull. Both times the bull was effective in scaring me to alter my path. I grew up with cattle, and usually the bulls were nothing to worry about. But they can be very dangerous, and you just don't know. We had one get pissed off on the farm once and repeatedly ram the grill of the hay truck while we were driving in the pasture.

Makes me think about folks who ride their motorcycles up through the Alaskan wilderness and have huge moose and bear around. You are very exposed on a motorcycle!

Honestly, I was quite nervous a couple of times while riding my motorcycle through Ted Turner's bison ranch near Medicine Lodge, KS. We'd come up on small herds laying in the road and they did not seem too happy to see us. I'm pretty sure I'd lose the battle if the bison decided to challenge me. Lucky for me, bison are dumb. If they ever come to realize the power they hold, watch out!

I bet that ram would be tasty with a nice BBQ glaze and perhaps deep fried? Wash him down with a frosty mug of RJ's homemade root beer!
