What Predator Could Do This??? Update: My horse did it!!!

[Snap62]

Due to the fact, that the wire was pushed "in", I would vote for the goats as well.

Predators would pull the wire "out", I would think

coyote, dog, racoon. ..... possible fox

Yesterday I was at a local farm supply store and they sold a hav a hart trap big enough for a coyote, with a small cage in it so that you could put whatever the coyote or coon is after in it. It was situated in such a way that the predator could not reach the "bait". I have been having a terrible time with coons getting to my chickens. I thought about getting it, but it cost $180, so I stopped there. Besides the fact that I couldn't handle putting one of my chickens through the terror of putting it in the small cage.
In so far as your possible predator, if a coon or coyote or dog and pushed the corner of the wire in, I doubt they would have stopped. They would have kept on going. Most likely it was one of the horses or the goat. Good luck.

Alright I officially feel like an idiot LOL. Lets just close the case and say my fence loving horse did it. Now she owes me 300$ LOL
By the way. I know its not my gelding because she isn't fence smart and paws. He just goes for what he finds. Oh and she is fence loving because her hobby to my great displeasure is she like trying to cross fences so she gets tangled a lot not to mention once she shredded her leg in barbwire. Only my horse would even try to lift her leg that high. I could barely get her out of that

. Oh and she owes me 750 feet worth of fence money too LOL.

... oh crap that's a lot of money

ETA: Now I just need to wait till my mom's payday and get this http://www.petco.com/product/12985/...Shopping_DogSupplies_CarriersCratesandKennels The bigger model. Then ill go around it with chicken wire and put a chicken wire roof, then get a big enough tarp to cover the roof and cut the tarp so the walls can be covered separately. Is this is a good idea or what? LOL

My coop is also inside of a dog kennel, neighbor's lab puppy came under the fence a few months back and sat outside the kennel looking at the wierd things inside, it was pretty funny. (neighbor was very sorry and replaced the fence boards that day, no harm no fowl).
