I've found the best way to do it is the doe on a flat surface. I reach starting from the ribs, and reach up as high as I can until I can feel the spine, then carefully and slowly slide down between the hips.

it takes practice, feel everything, does and bucks, until you can feel the organs and identify them. Then you get an idea of what's normally there, and when there is something extra, like a kit, or a blockage, or abnormal growth.

Also make sure you are feeling at the write position (Between the hips) and time (I do it at 12-14 days)

Make sure you don't palpate too hard from about 3 weeks on, or you may risk harming the kits!
