What kind of animal will take kid goats and leave no evidence. I had a purebred kiko born 4 days ago. On day two I went to check on him and he had 3 puncture wounds on the right side of his neck and two punctures on the left side of his front shoulder. The punctures were the size of a 18 gauge needle or maybe a bit smaller. The kid's neck was crooked and held his head down unless it was time to nurse. The fourth day he was missing. I have about 20 kids missing with no evidence.
