Hi, I'm sorry for the loss. When we first began goating, we read a lot from Fiasco Farms webpage
They have a list of things for a birthing kit and how to get involved. Turning a breached kid.

My heart goes out to you.
 
We can fix it! We just need some baling wire, some WD-40, a bit of duct tape and this tiny ad:
