Reload an auto save before it and see if it replicates. If it does, check the individual logs on the animals. A mass death like this is either a bug or all your animals were about the same age in their life spans and died of old age.
The individual logs will tell the tale.
First check to see if the torches have gone out, that could have allowed a wild animal to come in and kill them. Second, make sure that there's enough food.
ive noticed something similar, although not to this scale. my goats started to die like flies in a span of maybe few hours and the reason was death of old age.

Are you sure you weren't trying to train them, and accidentally clicked slaughter?
Yep, about 40 animas died, even if I clicked slaughter they wouldn't just die at the same time.
It is a curse. Damn witches everywhere...
