Something killed my baby goat. It was fine before bed and dead in the am. It was not carried off. I'm thinking owl or skunk. Anyone have a idea based on the pics?

Whatever it was wasn't big enough to carry it off.

If a yote they usually eat kidney, liver and lungs , then the meat. Cant tell for sure on what little damage unless chased off.

Baby Yeti

Dog

For context this goat is probably 6 pounds and was 1 day old. A dog would of done much more damage. It could even be a housecat.

I see the same thing all the time in sheep country. Its a DOG. No one ever wants to believe its a dog but it is. Thats how a dog does its killing. Often lots of biting. Often carries of a front ham. Sometimes looks like it just = quit and left

My dog was in the house, haven't saw any loose dogs, the goats are near my house and I didn't hear barking.

I hope I'm wrong, it's easier to catch a dog than wild animal but I don't think it's a dog.

My thought was dog also. I don't see a skunk or house cat killing a goat.

Dogs roam more than people think. I once caught a dog. 5 miles from ranchers porch. Dog was always sleep on porch in daylight

Skin the hide back to the head and look at the neck for fatal bite marks. The damage shown IMO is where the predator started feeding after the goat was already dead. Something may have run it off before it finished.

If there are puncture wounds in the neck area from the canines, then the distance between them will be a good indicator of who the culprit was.

Looks like a coyote kill to me.

Trail cam time

Red fox

Was dead be\fore feeding. could be any meat eater.

Agree with Law Dog..a couple good trail cams and skin out the damage area for tooth distance. Highly doubt a skunk.

TRUMP did it!!! Get another INDICTMENT!!!
