Many of you have gotten to know Rooster and Peanut, through the videos by Steve WG0AT, the Alpha Goat. Some of you have been fortunate enough to meet the goats in person, which is always a real treat. I blogged about Steve and his goats a number of times, see this posting that highlights one of Steve’s videos.
Today we received the sad news that Rooster has died, a Silent Key in ham radio jargon.
Steve sent this message:
It’s with deep sorrow I have to make this announcement …”Rooster” goat died suddenly last night of unknown causes …his trail buddies will soon be scattering Rooster’s ashes on many SOTA peaks throughout western NA
Rooster, we sure are going to miss you!
73, Bob K0NR
Steve, I am so sorry to hear this. So sad. He will be missing by his followers all over the world.
This is very sad news, I very much enjoyed watching Rooster and Peanut leading Steve on his SOTA exploits.

Steve, just heard the bad new on a post on Facebook. Really sorry to hear the news. Rooster & Peanut both had a huge following in Hamdom. Rooster will be missed.
Indeed sad..what a personality. Best wishes to Steve as he deals with this loss.
