CROW’S DAIRY in Rainbow Valley plans to suspend goat-cheese production after owner Wendell Crow says a pack of dogs got into an enclosure and killed about 60 goats overnight, a loss he estimates represents nearly one-third of his herd. Crow said he discovered the dead animals on the morning of Oct. 7. He believes the dogs dug beneath a fence to enter the pen; a staff member saw dogs running away, he said. The cause and number of animal deaths have not been independently confirmed. The farm will stop retail sales and use up existing inventory, while Crow expects to continue supplying some restaurant customers until that stock is gone. He said the operation had been producing roughly 100 to 200 pounds of cheese a day for resorts and restaurants in the area. The loss is both a business setback and a personal one for Crow, who described the goats as part of his livelihood and said he had grown attached to them. He hopes the farm can restart production by the beginning of next year. Crow said he contacted animal control but was told there was not enough evidence to take action. He also said roaming dogs have been a recurring concern for farmers in the Rainbow Valley area. The available information does not identify the dogs or their owners.
