Oh no, sorry to hear this. Its always tough to have this happen. I tend to believe that nature sometimes has a way of eliminating something that would not be viable, because it happens in every species. But it doesnt make it any easier.

Yes, goats! Mom, Saylor, is a standard Nubian. These guys have access to free choice minerals 24/7 and get copper boluses biannually (essential for goats here). They are super spoiled rotten since they’re our dairy goats, so my very best guess would be some toxic plant? Bc I do rotational browse them and the leaves are starting to fall. She’s def not the brightest yearling 🙄. I’m just really really hoping it’s not crap genetics 😬. Here she is with our new herd sire. He’s a dairy/meat mix and I am expecting much more hardy offspring than the full Nubians.
