I'm so sorry for your loss. I've never heard of pine boughs hurting a goat. Is it possible that a neighbor may have been feeding them over the fence? I ask, because when I was six years old I thought my neighbor's hens looked hungry. So while he was at work I went and dumped a ton of chicken feed into their shed and made them sick. I was too mortified to come forward, so he never found out who did it. I've also had well-meaning neighbors who would throw their grass clippings over the fence for my horses and/or goat. Sometimes people have no idea that something like this could be very bad for the animal, so they don't even ask permission.

Once again, I'm very sorry about your goats. I hope you are able to find some replacements soon.
