@op no vex, but you're are playing with your life. Whatever that is devouring your livestock in such manner will come for you and anyone else within that vicinity, when it no longer has access to livestock. I hope you that have children playing around? At this stage, you should be more concerned about your safety.
We are having this kind of attack second time this month and the pattern of the attack is exactly the same.
Due to farm invasion of our livestocks, we only allow them to graze at night and leave them till daybreak while we let them into their cage.
The first victim of this wild attack was Huda ram, he was sick and want missing, after about the third day, we found him with his head ripped off from the neck, likewise the second goat, brought in for mating about 12 days ago, felt sick, recovering, went to graze and the second day we met him this way.
We are currently working on installing perimeter net for the first part of the land we intend to use for livestock, that's about 3 acres, it separates the farm from the remaining land meant for crop plantation.
Which animal do you think is on the prowl? Kindly suggest how to capture or kill this animal.

Hyenas, wolf or some dangerous cats. You're definitely located close to a massive forest
Hyenas and wild dogs start feeding from the most vulnerable parts at the rear end or belly. They also consume all parts including skin and bones since they hunt in packs. This kill reveals that the predator was acting alone, caught the goat and waited till it was dead before devouring. It also shows that the predator is selective with desirable parts.

Looks like an attack from one of the large cat family.

All I can say is that whatever did that to that goat can do same to a grown human so you have to be very careful.

I hope you see this....... Animals are acting weird these days..... I use to have rams till my dogs made them extinct.... You are even lucky you saw parts of them... Mine even the hair I did not see, only the blood on their face I knew it was them.... My brother if domestic dogs can do that solemnly any wild beast would do much.
Omo this is terrible. Something dangerous is on the lose here... Una has humans there too need brace up and be ready. This isn't funny at all. I can't even start to think what kind of predator would go that length...
Op, nice one for bringing this up here, I would also like to know how the story goes.
I think this might be a reptile, because I once had an experience of such.
Mine was my Turkey and Fowl, they were in a cage and the biggest hole was about 8cm x 6cm, and the only animal entering there was rats. So, on that fateful, I came in the morning, I saw the animals (one turkey, one broiler) eaten in the above pattern (their neck eaten till only the bone was left, then from the neck, it entered inside and finished the intestines, without touching the body). I tried to know what could have done that, but alot of people suggested it could be *Snake or Shrew* or possibly the rats. In this your case of a goat, I don't Shrews or rats can eat eat a big animal like goat. I'm thinking of possible reptile.

Install a motion camera and a goat locked in a cage or better still, record the cry of a goat and let it play in a wireless bluetooth speaker till day break, the cry will attract which ever wild animal that did this, because surely the wild animal will come back for more prey tomorrow.

If to say those dog dem remember to clean mouth after chop, like how politican dem dey do after dem chop awa national yam finis, the dog dem for just do like say nothing happen and you nogo suspect dem.
FreshFarmAgro: You should start worrying about your safety not the goats. Whatever killed the goat in such a cruel manner must be really cruel
I'm writing this to tell you to be careful about your life.
This clearly is the doings of a dangerous animal
Now, let me advice you professionally.
Go and do deep research on why animal rearers always choose to pair a donkey alongside other animals like yours while raising them. This can be the answer to saving you from such losses into the future.
Be careful. Be it an hyena, a fox or a jackal. These animals can be deadly
An hyena doesn't need to kill an animal from the neck, though it's not that it can not. This suggests another dangerous animal
Jackal Diet
Jackals are nocturnal, omnivorous scavengers. With their long legs and curved canine teeth, they are well adapted for hunting
Jackals kill small prey with a bite to the back of the neck.
Range & habitat
All jackal species live in Africa, albeit in different regions.
Diet
Jackals can be both diurnal and nocturnal. This means that they can look for food both day and night. All jackals are omnivorous, meaning that their diet consists of both meat and plants.
Highlight
" When it comes to killing small prey, they usually do so by delivering a bite to the back of the neck and vigorously shaking the animal. "
Possible culprits
Jackal
Fox
Juvenile Leopard
African civet
I think we can rule out a fox, I'd expect a fox to hunt smaller animals like a rabbit, hare grass cutter etc .
A jakal or hyena could be the culprit though these all are pack animals which would make it easier to spot them, I think this was a solitary Animal, if the animals were dragged to a secluded spot I'd hazard it's likely a big cat like a leopard

What's the location of your farm. It could be a leopard

The case you described in your location is a Cane Rat attack.
Snakes don't eat part and leave carcass behind. Snake usually swallow the whole thing every time and anytime.
Eating the intestines and leaving the flesh is definitely a Cane Rat attack and some times Mice do attack in that way too.
I'm trying to make this place liveable and probably would be hosting people for a short stay while we relate and probably expand business, like a resort type.

Leopard is the major culprit here..
Goats and sheep are it's major prey..And little puppies.

It's a chupachabra an ancient Mexican methological animal
The head of the chicken would be ripped off, intestine missing, there was fence around the perimeter of the land. I hire the services of two watch man to look out for what the problem was, nothing was seen. Late at night the birds were making a lot of noise, touch light were turned on but nothing, realized it was a evil forces coming to eat them.
