The worst injury I ever received from a sheep was from a ewe and was completely accidental.  I was leaning over to 
empty some water from her feed tub just as she was jumping up to stick her head in the feed bucket I was carrying.  One 
horn hit my glasses and broke them and another horn went through my lip. 

Caution and common sense are always a good idea with any animal, be it a four horned 150 lb Jacob ram or a 12 lb calico 
cat (who is currently sitting on my head trying to pull my ears off - talk about dangerous!)
