Sorry about the birthing web site.  I took the
citation off the copy the State Vet sent me.  Robin
told me all it had when she went to it was things for
sale.  I went to the site too and I agree with her.  I
could find nothing on birthing.  I guess the web site
was taken over by someone else. All I can say is in
2003 it really had a great article on lambing and
especially difficult lambing.  It is 15 pages so I do
not think I will put it on this site, but I do
apologize for anyone who went to the current site and
thought I was crazy!  Victoria
