Ah... it was a wonderfully peaceful and quiet night. I slept like a rock and the goats look refreshed this morning too. Yesterday morning they were huddled in a pile, exhausted, because all of them had been on the alert all night like me. I hope Cuzco's mood improves today. After a brief morning nap, he spent the rest of the day in a towering rage and was charging and pummeling any goat that dared to come anywhere near him. Lack of sleep and loss of his best friend probably both contributed to his temper. He's usually at least tolerant of the babies, but yesterday they both got smacked hard any time they walked near him, and sometimes even when they didn't. He was going out of his way to bully everyone, which isn't his usual style.
Dave, my dad was saying I should shoot the coyotes right here near the house because it will deter others when they find out that coyotes die when they come here. I know that usually works for bears, but I don't want to assume coyotes are the same way. My dad also suggested I get a .223 ranch rifle for the ones that stay further down the hill. He used his for killing "varmints" and loved it. Of course, he also put a folding stock and a banana clip on his so it would be illegal during the Clinton "assault weapons" ban.
