Hi Gary and all of goatworld - Boy, I have to tell You I really thought I sent those pictures E-Mail. I'm really new at this computer thing, There really are 53 pictutes of junie birthing triplets. Very graphic , dont even look if your squemish or have a week stomach. They show the whole process from beginning to end,First time the camera was where it was supposed to be. You all wont see me Help one little leg out with a dry wash rag to get her started or where she washed my face in gratitude. All the rest is there. This doe was in labor and haveing trouble getting the first one out so I had to put the camera down to help her. When you can see the feet and nothing is happening then its time to get a dry rag an grab a foot - wait for her to push again- pull the leg down and out it will come - get the mucus off its face and and be ready for that greatful slobery kiss from your doe.The other 2 came breach , but no trouble with them. The sheets are to keep the kid out of the dirt- clip the navel cord to about 3 inches and douse with 7% iodine. I
use a small paper cup.
Sorry ,I get carried away when it cames to my goats . Last kid count is nine. Havent checked this morning.Happy kidding everyone....goat mom
