"We would like to announce"

on one of the coldest nights we've had all winter!

They are gorgeous (of course) and take after mum, she is resting now :)

Love goats, not suitable for a town house but plenty of room here but they'd jump the fence or get took!   Three's good - are triplets quiet common in goats?  Looking froward to the photos
