"To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter; to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird's nest or a wildflower in spring - these are some of the rewards of the simple life." ~John Burroughs

WHOA! Triplets!? Congratulations! In all our years of goat keeping, we never had triplets . . . lots and lots of twins, of course, but none of our girls managed three at a time.
Did the kids get to see the birth?
Thanks, Mama Pea!! We suspected twins but not triplets! We're a little worried about one -- he seems weaker than the other two but Mama Lucy is still attentive to all three. We've been feeding him and I just watched him nursing so hopefully he'll perk up today.
The kids are actually away -- they don't even know the babies are here! Even we missed the birth! We checked her at 8:30 pm (we'd just moved her into the single pen last night) and by 12:30 am, babies were here. We didn't even know she was in labour! I'll write more about it when I'm not so punch drunk tired :)
Congratulations, they are adorable.
Wow, they are so cute! I remember lambing in dead winter in MN, twins & triplets...it didn't even matter it was cold as heck out, they were so CUTE! Now you have your hands full! Get handsome Henry out there to babysit!
Congratulations! The triplets are adorable :-) I hope the little guy pulls through and doesn't have any problems.
Congratulations!! They are so sweet - what a great surprise! And what an incredible new experience at Rowangarth :) I hope they all thrive and are healthy and I will look forward to hearing the names (I'm assuming that will require some family voting and negotiations).
They are so cute! How are they doing now? Hope all is well.

Oh WOW! That's amazing. The little lady did good!
