On the coldest night of the year Baby, one of Maggie’s mamma Boer goats decided to bring her twins into the world.

Not too long after,Maggie’s other mamma goat,  Licorice, decided that delivering multiples sounded like a good idea.

She outdid Baby by one.  Licorice gave us the farm’s first set of triplets.

So, overnight our goat population grew from two to seven.

But that’s okay. 

If you ask me, a farm can’t have enough kids. 

 Or kids.
