So goats can have 2 kids then? I had been told that Billy and Toby are brothers, but as I thought a mummy goat only had one kid, I assumed that they were just half-brothers with different mummies. They are so very close, so perhaps they really are full brothers. Aaaahhh!

NMary, they can have 4... or even more!

Singles often come from first-time mums
