What a wild kidding this was for our Poppy girl! On April 14th she gave us 3 big, beautiful bucklings, but not without a fight.
For the first time in 8 years of kidding seasons, I had to step in and physically pull a massive breech baby. Her labor was going great until it wasn't. I realized baby number 1 was breech and stuck. Over 2 long, exhausting hours, we worked to get him here. His sac had been broken for nearly 2 hours, and the odds felt stacked against us, but I knew we had no choice but to get him here.
By the grace of God, that little guy made it… and not just made it, but is thriving. His brothers followed closely behind, breech, but with ease.
Moments like this remind me just how fragile and miraculous life truly is, and how incredible our mamas are.
Poppy has healed great after a round of antibiotics and is a dotting mom.
