Kim Taylor, 73, a retired nurse, was alone in a pen at Cultivate Care Farms feeding livestock when a sheep repeatedly rammed her. Police and medical workers responded shortly after 9 a.m. Taylor, who went into cardiac arrest, was rushed to UMass Memorial Marlborough Hospital where she was pronounced dead. There were no witnesses to the incident. Cultivate Farms is a nonprofit farm that focuses on therapy, wellness and community outreach. The organization's website outlines its approach: "Through physical work and connection with the animals, clients gain insight into their own abilities for positive change within themselves and in relationships with others." The farm has a range of animals including goats, sheep, alpacas and rabbits. Goat yoga is among its offerings. Some programs, such as a support group for teens, are headed by case managers.

I’ve worked a lot of sheep in my life and newbs always pat them on the head, which stimulates butting behavior.
They do love to be scratched, but do not pat the lambs, especially the ram lambs and for the love of God, never ever pat an adult ram.
BIL and I ran into a momma moose and calf once. I damn near peed myself.
There were no witnesses. Could she have had the heart attack first?
I worked a sheep ranch in college. They bought a new suffolk ram once. He was a beautiful specimen. First thing he did was kill the old ram. Then he took aim at me.
Once I figured that out, I wouldn’t go into the pasture without a big fence post. Then, if he came after me, he would ram the post and not me. The best was to take the ranch’s german shepherd (who thought that sheep were food) with me. He could keep that ram occupied while I did my job.
Did it have COVID?
The sheep was probably a Ram and probably head butted her in the solarplexius.
As to why a sheep might suddenly attack, Ledoux said there could be many explanations.
Excessive taxation, repressed freedoms, mandated vaccination, a tax on tea ???
Never-ever turn your back on livestock.
Goat yoga is among its offerings.

I’m not sure I should know the details about this.
I would disagree with you. You may not know some things about her:

In the fall, the male deer snort like bulls sometimes, and stand their ground. I’ve decided to treat them like bulls.
My dog chased one and when I caught up the buck was starting to advance on her. I got out of the charge line and luckily she and the deer decided not to go after each other.

My brothers loved to pat me on the head, it seemed to stimulate bad behavior in me too. Barba yelling and brothers laughing.
Watch out for the llamas
for the love of God, never ever pat an adult ram........
unless you are ready to meet Jesus.....
LOL, me either.
We had a ram sheep for a couple years when I was growing up that would ram into you out of the blue, if you turned your back. After 2 times, I learned to look where he was, then enter the pen, and then never turn my back on him. He was a real bastard.
