Are mountain sheep aggressive?

     Bighorn sheep are wild animals. There are a few cases of bighorn sheep attacking humans, but it’s rare. They are typically not aggressive animals, but can get defensive – especially during rutting season. You wouldn’t want them to use their horns to butt you!

The average lifespan of a sheep is 10-12 years, although the age at which they cease to be ‘commercially productive’ is around 5 years earlier, hence most domestic sheep are killed at around half of their potential lifespan.
