		When I did goat chores yesterday I was shocked and saddened.  Bourbon had a wonderful beard (for a wether) and all but about 2" of it was gone!  I have no idea what happened to it.  He's the boss so it's hard to believe one of the other goats chewed it off.  I loved his little beard!  I hope it grows back!

		Aw, poor Bourbon. Do you by any chance have rats? They might have chomped away the hair in his sleep. I'm relieved that it's nothing more serious though! A beard will grow back. His ears on the other hand...

		He must be a really hard sleeper if rats chewed off his ears!!! 
 
  
 
I am also glad that the only loss was part of his beard!!!
