Well after three weeks and losing half my herd I finally found out what is killing my goats. Your never gonna believe this.... snails. It has been so wet that they are like every where, tiny little orange or black shelled snails. And I was just told yesterday when I had a goat dieing that they can kill a goat in hours if they accidentally eat them. All the more reason to drowned them in beer if you ask me. Luckily we saved Amos but so many were not so lucky and I am just devastated.
It was horrible and frankly they were my friends and I don't know if I can keep going through this. I honestly don't know if I am gonna replace them in the spring or not. Hubby says it is part of being a farmer and having animals. I tell him that is why I tell everyone I am not a farmer, cause I care to damn much.
