I have raised livestock all of my life, born and raised on farm. I raised show goats for yrs, from dairy to mini. Kidding problems were few with the goats, but did come about, my small son at the time has reached in with great care and pulled out babys. I have delived a few, they have come backwards, side ways, upside down. when i found ones i could not deal with, i made a mad dash to the vet in ashland, a very nice man with small hands and a lot of loving care. In almost 20yrs of goats we had 3 c-sections, and 5 trips for help assist. I love this vet do to the fact i was allowed to help, and was told how and when to help our animals out. It was a great education. I have sold all the goats , I now have a few exotics, in sheep. i really enjoy them. I hope this next yr to add soay sheep, I look forward to up dates on how the baby's and momma are doing. very good story, glad there was a nice out come.
