I had the goats scanned last week and:

2 sets of triplets
5 sets of twins
1 single

Hurray!  Good old Boris!

Is scanning very expensive?

I paid the minimum price, which was £50 and he scanned 8 mums - but well worth it to know what to expect next march!

Busy yes - and such timewasters....

We have just separated Boris the Billy and Hunky the wether see below).  Hunky who is 9 mths is not happy being away from mummy and in fact almost lost his voice this afternoon from all the fuss he was making!

Mind you, I wouldn't want to be with Boris - who leans slightly towards human men not girls!!

What a pretty face.  What breed are they?  Difficult to tell from this angle but the ears look AN.

Boer crosses - the 3 original mums are Cashmere - although this isn't a breed, so not sure of the original type!! Always put to Boer Billys
