Babydoll sheep difficult breech lamb delivery

Belle is our babydoll sheep who's a third time momma. A couple of hours prior to this video we noticed her out in the field in labor. We decided to bring her into the barn so that it would be easier to assist if there were any problems as it was very cold outside. A couple of hours of contractions but no delivery, I decided to check for the orientation of the lamb inside the uterus. Unfortunately, I felt a tail, which is the wrong presentation for a lamb. It's supposed to come out with its front feet and head first. I was pretty sure this little thing was coming out backwards. Knowing this could potentially be lethal to both mom and baby, I called the vet but couldn't get a hold of her. Some other obstetrician friends were unavailable but I was able to get one on the phone. There were two other adults with me as well as two younger girls present for the birth. We new that we had no choice but to get that baby out. So this video is the culmination of a 20 minute stressful ordeal trying to get that baby lamb delivered.
