So sorry Emily.

Will you be having an autopsy done to figure out what caused her death?

We buried her. She was extremely small compared to other 5 yr old pygmies. Being 5 yrs old she was never able to settle when bred. She recently developed a problem with retaining her cud. The position we found her in was her normal sleeping position in her normal sleeping spot. What, if any of that played a part I'm not sure. Maggie came to the door of the barn and called to me when I was getting ready to leave the field from setting the trap to catch the quail's killer. Maggie calling out after dark was highly unusual so I went to see what was wrong. She turned toward the horses part of the barn when I reached the doorway and so I followed her. She went to the hay feeder and looked and Elsie and spoke again. I said Elsie's name and she didn't respond. I touched her head and she didn't respond. I honestly thought that she was asleep. When she still didn't respond, I inspected further and realized that there was something wrong. She was no doubt already gone but I so didn't want to believe it.


Elsie was the sweetest goat that I have ever met and we absolutely adored her. She will be missed greatly.
