I think a lot of people underestimate just how dangerous farm animals can be, many of them are more than capable of throwing a person across a paddock.

What a tragedy. Those poor people, their poor families must be so shocked and upset to lose both parents in one go.

There are so many of colour jokes I can think of..... Too soon.

I feel sorry for the families. People in their 80's Vs a ram ... Not much of a competition.

You wouldn't even need to be in your 80s; lifestylers just shouldn't keep rams.
