I dont know anything about your breed Mic, have never heard of it, but
around here they say not to buy purebred Boer goats because they are
known to be alive one minute perfectly fine and then just dead in the
field all of a sudden. Because of this people buy boer with some
other breeding mixed in

No, it's actually been dry all week for a change! I think the heart
attack is the most likely theory...
Many thanks to all of you for suggestions and sympathy.

Is there a chance that he was struck by lightening? One of my favorite
horses, Venus, an Ofeigur fra Flugumyri daugther (looked like a carbon copy
of him) was found dead

Mic - I can't help you with the cause but had the same thing happen as
a child to my much loved year old Saanen doe. One moment she was alive
and the next I found her dead in her

Yes, I must admit that was my first thought. I just hope the other 4
kids are OK - they are all by the same sire!

I'm so sorry, Mic. These things are always so upsetting. I had a vet
tell me once, that in these situations with any animal, - sudden death
and no other animals showing any signs of illnes
>>> 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.
I'm sorry, Mic.
