At last! It all started around 5am and was over by 7:30. Three bouncing baby girls. Mother (Gwendolyn) and kids doing fine.Everyone is very relieved. And just in time - the next expectant mother is now due.
We rapidly move to the fraught issue of names. Of course if it was up to me they'd be named 1, 2 and 3.
But Jussi (and Ailsa) wants them to have names - and we've decided to name each years 'crop' alphabetically - starting this year, naturally enough, at R.
Kids from the British Alpine Mothers will be named with a Mythological theme, those from the Nubian with an African theme, and those from Saanens with a Botanical theme.So welcome: Roshima, Rhea, Rumina - not sure which is which just now.
But last word goes to Ailsa - hopping up and down clapping she declared:
"I can imagine them running up a rainbow and hopping onto a cloud."

Cuter than cute things!
Hurrah!
Yay! So cute. If you're going to name them all, does that mean goat curry is out? ;)
Cheers people. I reckon there'll be more by morning.
And Mat, curried goat is most definitely on!
curry goat is on, but not with the females!
Definitely, need them for the goats cheese - can't wait!
