Once the baby was visible, Roni was pushing hard and not making much progress, so I pulled one hoof forward to help her.
In the second picture, both legs are pulled forward to narrow the shoulders & make birth easier. The little white “booties” on the bottom of the hooves help to protect the doe's uterus from the hooves. It is very soft and will rub off as the kid begins to walk.
The grain bag provides a clean surface for the kid and helps to contain the birth fluids.
