That's friggin' crazy...I can't figure out how he died...bled out? Heart attack?

Am I the only one who thinks it's weird to call a male goat a "ram"?

Fish on...

My question was why did he try to "shoo" away the goat when it looked aggressive....

I'm guessing he bled out from the femoral artery. A tourniquet was probably his only hope.

Sounds like that goat was heavily rutting.

Just like deer and elk, they will take on anything.

Sad story indeed.
