Oh no!!! Sorry to hear about Nisby! Such a pretty goat too 
We have coyotes here, I've had them within 15 feet of us in broad daylight while walking out in the field, and one in particular is pretty bold, paralleling my dog and I and yapping. I yell at it and throw rocks, but it takes its sweet time wandering off. I worry about my dog more than anything, because when he's off-leash he takes off after them if he hears or spots one, and then the others are yapping in the distance waiting to bushwhack him - it really worries me. But I've never worried about my 3 goats since they're decent-sized and have shelters so back into and big horns. Never had any signs of problems near their goat pen at least. But dang... I hope I'm correct about that. I like coyotes but they are predators and have been taking out a lot of cats here in SF lately and even grabbing people's small dogs in some of the parks in the middle of the day.
