Buttercup's pins have dropped

We are spending some time every day staring at the rear end of a cow. This is quite normal when your cow is 9 months pregnant I believe. This is Buttercups udder. Pretty full, but not as crazy full as it will look when the calf has just been born

She has some slime coming out of her vagina

Her pins have dropped which makes her tail lift up a bit

Buttercup and Bif (her calf from 2015 that we hope to take to the abattoir really soon)

This is my finger on her pin ligament. Normally it is hard and feels like bone but a day or a few days before the calf is born they relax and appear to disappear. When I push my finger here it feels all squishy

If I do the same on Bluebell it feels hard like bone.
