Goats - Five Kids Birth is a Surprise

Here is a good human interest story. Ralph Burge had to count three times to believe what he was seeing. His nanny goat, Honeybear, had given birth to five baby goats, or kids. He said he had never seen anything like it. Honeybear's previous litter was a more usual three kids. Scientists said Burge was right to be amazed. That a goat can have up to six or seven kids at a time, but they rarely do. This only happens in one in 10,000 goat births. Not only that but Burge's have triplets of their own who are going to help take care of the little kids.
