Correcting a Lamb's Position During Birth

This has been very interesting, and as I have two sheep that will be lambing soon, and this is my first time with sheep, I did learn some, but I do have a friend that lives just down the road that I can call day or night...but this is so helpful...

A helpful hint, if you're you're pulling a large kid or lamb which presents head-first, with no front legs or only one: if you have the head and one leg out or after you get the first, leave the second in. Make sure the leg still inside is alongside the body, not bent forward. Pulling gently out and toward the doe/ewe's feet (what would be down if she were standing), use your hand as a shoehorn to prevent the point of shoulder on the side with the leg that's back from hanging up on the dam's pelvis. This procedure also allows one shoulder at a time to come out and lets you successfully pull an even larger kid/lamb, since you won't be struggling with two legs and a neck coming out at the same time.
