Mary CONGRADULATIONS ON THE NEW BABY!!!!!!!!! Sounds like you did well. Somebody else had birthing questions this year and I wrote up a detailed how to just in case list. Some have said it was helpful. Now for the record I AM NOT A VET. What I wrote is what I use from kittens to horses and it works for me. To date I have been very fortunate and have lost very few to birthing problems. I don't know how to look it up but I am sure it is someplace in the arcives. If you can't find it maybe somebody could email it to you as I know a few people printed it out to keep in the barn. Biggest thing stay calm. As for why your babies presented like that I don't know. There are alot of factors that come in to play. Could be size, could be she wasn't in the correct position when the doe went into labor, could be attitude goats just love to cause trouble....Just kidding it really is hard to say. But you did good. Can't wait to see the photos.
