Goat Mistress
Got to practice my assisting again with this one! Wolfie was HUGE, so I had a feeling there were more than two in there 
. I'd been checking her all day and she was finally in labor around 2. I could feel a bubble had just come through her cervix, so I grabbed some towels and a soda and hung out to see how she was progressing. She did some major work and managed to present the leader bubble, but then stopped making progress. So, DH went to her head and we put her on her side. First kid was full breech, trying to come out with hocks and butt. So I shoved it back in, found a hock, followed that hock to its hoof and pulled buck #1 out by one hoof. No biggie.
She was then more intent on cleaning the buck than pushing. I did some peri stretching and got her going again, but she didn't feel like laying back down. She presented enough of #2 that I took the hooves and finished that one up, clean it up...handed it to her. ANOTHER BUCK.
At this point I'm about ready to go rack ole Mr. Rider...ALL BUCK KIDS this year. Dork!
I bounced Wolfie, because dangit, she didn't look empty. Obviously a third baby in there! YAY. Did some more peri stretching and she presented two more feet, so I pulled baby #3 - A DOE WAHOOOOOOO
These are some HEFTY kids for triplets! Buck #2 is the biggest and he's also polled, I'm 90% sure.
Buck #1
Buck #2 - polled

Congrats on the babies, and especially the doeling you finally got from Rider!
