60 | Breech Births, Goat Mentors, and When to Intervene During Kidding

Hi friends!  We’re in the thick of kidding season, and today I’m sharing about a new kidding experience I had a couple days ago, assisting a doe with a posterior or breech kid.  We’ve had lots of breech kids before, but never one that I couldn’t safely get the back legs repositioned, so this was a new one.  Goats never stop teaching me new things.  I’m also sharing some tips on how to be prepared for emergencies before they happen, which is vital.  Let’s get to it!
