First Winter Goat Camp out

[Nanno]

Beautiful! Good call to put the goats in the truck with a coyote scoping them out. We lost one goat to coyotes years ago, and came very close to losing our big packgoat, Cuzco to coyotes one night. Both incidents happened when we were at home instead of on the trail, but it's given me a new respect for coyotes and what they can do to a goat. Poor Nibbles only had one bite, but it was to her jugular so she bled out immediately. Cuzco fought the coyotes off, but he had some nasty punctures on his neck and hide torn from his back in a couple places. It took us two days before we found him hiding in a woodlot three miles from our house. I don't like coyotes.

Maybe this summer when the weather is hot you can take your goats swimming!
