Still no calf...

Well 117 still hasn't had her calf although she has just been doing what might be contractions... not sure what cow contractions really look like but she was huffing and her tummy was pushing a bit so maybe that's what cow contractions look like? Her vulva is more swollen and udder looks much the same as before. Poor girl has a bit of hay stuck to her girlie bits - can't get close enough to pull it off - no dignity when you're preggers!

She is holding her tail off to the side more as well, not sure if that is a sign either?

Anyway onto the photos!

The hay is all in now, although took until 3am in the morning, argh. What a night. Ended up with 1120 bales, not bad from my estimate of 1200 bales. Had to get it in that night though as there was rain coming the next morning - and it did hose down so was just as well we stayed up all night to shift it.

Udder update

Heifer 117 still has her legs crossed although her udder is getting bigger by the day. She is a bit restless this afternoon, and looks quite wobbly behind so must be pretty close.

On to what everyone wants, here are the pics....

This first one was taken yesterday:

These other two were taken today:

She is just in on her own now - we tried to leave a buddy in there with her but the buddy had other ideas and was just running around bellowing, with 117 following along. So we got rid of the buddy and 117 is quite happy hanging out on her own in her maternity suite. Although is probably a bit over being peered at every hour or so...

The hay got turned today and will be baled tomorrow. Some weather forecasts are for a few showers late tomorrow, but I am ignoring those and only reading the ones that say it's going to rain on Monday and just be overcast tomorrow. I hope they're right.
