Coyote or dog. Maybe an eagle! :D

Big cat. Hungry coyote unlikely, but possible... Domestic dog would likely just kill it and leave it.

Hungry critter.

I'm thinking a coyote. Dogs might have carried it away, but maybe not.

Chupacabra.

At 38 I believe I am now a bit too old and yet not rich enough to be preferred cougar prey. Instead I'm the creepy older guy looking for 1st year grad students.

Good hair though, I got damn fine hair.

If your lamb was taken by an eagle that would almost be cool enough, on a couple levels, to outweigh the loss. Maybe put in a camera, get some youtube hits?

I would check all the local dinners.

We do have a good population of bald eagles in the area, plus various types of hawks, falcons, and such.

cassandra and sara's daddy · « **Reply #22 on:** March 18, 2009, 10:18:48 PM »

i've got a line of hot wire around top of fence so i have not had trouble before makes me think an eagle could do it the lil guys don't weigh much

Hawks have good lifting talents. One once tried to take off with our cat.

Conspiracy theory:
It was a hawk sent by Voodoo worshippers to collect their monthly sacrifice.

Or, it was a hawk sent by the KKK to cause the theft to be blamed on Voodoo worshippers and cause goat owners to start a race riot.

Or it was a chupacabra.

Or the Philadadelphia Experiment's residual effects...

never_retreat · « **Reply #24 on:** March 18, 2009, 10:36:15 PM »

Maybe obama sent the hawk to take you goat, to redistribute it to people that can't afford their own goat.
