Mercy, the largest goat, has just had triplets! Our naming tradition is that goats are called for virtues we wish them to possess; my votes are for Candor, Pudor, and Eustochia.
UPDATE: Prudence has had twins. Thoughts?

Mercy had three! And Prudence had twins! My only thought is those are some awesome goats - we need more of mercy in the world to account for the small amount of prudence.

I still say senility is a virtue.
αρετή might be appropriate for Johnnies.
These names have nothing to do with virtues (at least not directly), but I'm partial to Scarlett, Ashley, and Rhett for goats.
Or, maybe Aristotle, Hobbes, and Kant. ???
Congratulations!
Faith and Grace?
Obedience and Patience?
Elpida and Hope?
Joy and Jubilee?
Lucky and Modesty? That makes me smile.
Noble and Reason?
Today was my last day doing any defense work. Can you tell?
Jack suggests that you get a billy and name it Meno.
O Menon, prattete kalos!
Also: getting a buck? Not a problem. We ended up with four of the five as males. What are the odds? (5/32)
