14 minutes!!!! Felt like hours! :p I can't even remember what position they were in other than that first one, sideways! And the last big one, upside down....was he breech, too? Can't remember! How weird is that!
:p #1 was sideways presenting with a spine, you pushed it back in and pulled breech. #2 was a normal presentation but was the booger that had shoved #1 in there sideways, you got it out with peri-stimulaition. #3 was all goobered up, upside down and twisted sideways best I could tell from what you were saying - you managed to get it sideways (which is still better than upside down) and got it out with 1 foot and a head after some peri-stimulation and LOTS of noise from Momma - that was the biggest one, right? So the only breech was #1.

Wow! Sounds like you did have quite a job. Kate I'd like to go ahead and reserve or put you on retainer for next spring when our birthings begin. Way to go!!

Now out of curiosity, if she hadn't intervened, would she have had them ok? Or I'm assuming possible lost one or some?

All would have been lost. The first one was impossibly stuck....the doe would have died, too. :(

Oh, wait, they are all fine! :weee
