Some of the ways sheep can die:
- Getting stuck on their backs and dying of suffocation
- Attacked by flies
- Eaten by maggots
- Being attacked by dogs or any other living creature
- Being frightened into a heart attack by imagining the dog is going to attack, even though it is not
- Drowning (Are we surprised sheep cannot swim?)
- Suffocating in snow (surprisingly common)
- Hoof infections that poison the blood
- Almost exploding with grass because they have eaten too much and are unable to pass wind
- If they get too hot
- If they get too cold
