We have been very blessed here at Flumgummerie Farms, our Nubian doe, Ruth, gave us triplets this year! Thankfully, she kidded the week after our snow storm when the weather was in the 70's, unfortunately, her first kid presented itself tail first (frank breech).

After observing her, I realized she was unable to push the kid out on her own so I put on a long pair of plastic gloves and used mineral oil as a lubricant. I waited until a contraction passed and then went in to feel if I could move the kid. I couldn't get a good sense of whose legs and bodies I was feeling and Ruth seemed to be very uncomfortable (who could blame her!) so I hooked my hands around the hip joints of the kid and slowly pulled while Ruth pushed. I stopped pulling as soon as she stopped pushing and waited until her next push...then the kid was out! A beautiful, healthy buck kid!

She almost immediately began pushing again and out came a sweet little doe kid, and then to our surprise, she gave us another darling little doe kid! Triplets! We are very excited and pleased that things went smoothly and that all her kids are healthy and doing well.
