We put up a game camera tonight to see if we can get a shot of what might have killed Clara the goat. Her buddy, Heidi, is in the barn with the horses and we’ve instructed Mr Freckles and Sassy to take turns on watch. We’re learning there is likely no such thing as “predator proof” but we are hopeful tonight’s set up will work. Thanks to everyone who posted today, I’ve read all your comments. Lynn told Lily a coyote ate Clara and she’s dead, very matter of fact as if it’s just a part of life - which I guess it is for us now. Lily said “that’s sad” then moved on to playing with her “nice ants” as she is a real bug lover. I’m sure I’ll be holding my breath at dawn during barn-check.
Anyone who has ever had baby goats knows their little hops are the cutest to watch. Here’s a compilation of some from yesterday.

We watched a snake eat a rat, and it was the most fascinating thing I have seen in a long time. Lynn says it is a rat snake. If you have any other ideas, leave them in the comments. Anyway, do we need a barn cat if we have a barn snake?

Carla the chicken regularly attends our homeschool courses, though she prefers recess and most of all lunch. Whenever my kids complain about doing work, I remind them that most schools around the world do not allow kids to bring their chicken.
