I know some of you on the list have goats - yesterday I found one of my 2007 kids (now about 8 months old) dead, for no apparent reason.
He's a wether (castrated male) Golden Guerney x Saanen, and appeared to be perfectly healthy. Yesterday morning he was grazing happily with the others in a field they've been in for years (so nothing poisonous or anything like that) then yesterday evening I found him in the goat shed, dead, with him mum and sister standing over him looking very sad. Not a mark on him, no sign of anything wrong at all including in his mouth. All the rest of the goats and sheep appear perfectly healthy. Anybody got any thoughts/suggestions?
