Are Old English a breed of goat? I've never heard of them - not that I'm any goat expert so that doesn't mean anything  ;D

Hi, I knew I recognised the name Jinglejoys! Triplets or from two mums? I'm quite glad I've got two little bucks as I'm not wanting more breeding goats and this makes it easier!  Could always keep these two as wethers for friends for the tup.....

Yes, Old English are a breed. See www.oldenglishgoats.org.uk (http://www.oldenglishgoats.org.uk) to find out more. Smallish though not dwarf, feral-type, hardy and friendly :-)
