Tuscon was a very sweet doe. It was very upsetting to loose her to a coyote attack one night in 2005. She was in a location with a donkey for protection that was very close to our house.
Since then we've upgraded "security" with new fencing, lighting, and lgds...
Elvira was one of our most promising looking does from the Spring '07 season that was intended to be one of our future breeders.
She survived an attack from a lone coyote in the middle of the afternoon one day. A couple weeks later we killed the culprit. Unfortunately, 2 months later she was targeted again one October morning within about 30 minutes of being let out into the pasture.
We are now having to step up security another knotch to prevent attacks.

Stormy was a hard loss. She was one of our best breeders and a friend to us. It seems her neck was broken from another goat butting her while her head was in a metal grid eating hay. She was in good health and been seen just 10 minutes before.
Stormy's legacy lives on in our herd and her kids. She will be missed.
After a few weeks of treatment, she continued to get weaker and we finally put her down. With more awareness and usage of the FAMACHA program, we hope to prevent other losses like this in the future.
Our buck Dos is out of Boogie and we know he will produce some striking kids as she did.
