That is certainly the worst of the worst. It is one thing when one of your animals just lays down and dies, it is quite another to have them chewed up by a stinking predator.
I have to add, that when I was just getting started, everyone said, 'oh, cattle panels, cattle panels', but since I couldn't figure out how to get them up here, I went to my second choice, what was termed then as, 'no-climb horse fencing'. I have been glad more times than I can count that I ended up with this stuff as fencing. No coyotes can break through, although they were around for about a year and a half hoping, and my goats have never broken out... except through the gate, and I have that secured at this point. And due to our particular type of terrain, digging in is out of the question, unless the preds can figure out how to get through all the rocks. I am so sorry that you lost your boy this way!
