We had two sets of triplets last year, very funny little things. We also take our goats for walks, I live in the Forest of Dean in the UK and the goats love it. They are big!

If you'd only had a buckling, too! he could have been Velvet Elvis... Needless to say, I think you should name them Blue Velvet, Red Velvet, and Black Velvet, but that’s just me.

I have to wait until they have personalities to do that! And YES, multiple births are common in goats. My old Nubian/Boer doe, Luna, had quads last year, three bucks and a doe. THAT was a shock!! I had a litter. Twins is more usual, though. And this year, Luna took a break and only had a single doe. Goats are so much fun, and a great addition to a homestead. We have a lot of fun in the summer, taking them for walks. They enjoy it so much and are funny to watch, leaping, nibbling, standing on their hind legs to eat leaves, running this way and that. It's so relaxing. The zen of goat herding! No names yet. I have to wait until they have personalities to do that! And YES, multiple births are common in goats.
