IT will certainly be "billy-o" down at Pimhole after Becky the nanny goat gave birth to three kids.

Her delighted owner Stuart Andrews says it is very unusual for nannies to produce three offspring.

Now, he is busy looking after the new arrivals along with their proud mum.

Becky is one of five goats that Stuart has had at his small holding for a year.

He said: "Apparently, goats usually give birth to twins, so I'm delighted."

The tiny goats will fit in nicely with the surroundings. Apart from the small holding being home to other goats, there are also six Shetland ponies down on "animal farm."
