Cow pregnancy pictures (yet more)

Buttercup's due date is Monday (283 days). We keep inspecting her for signs of imminent birth. We are looking for a number of things such us udders filling up, mucous from the vagina, and apparently the two best signs which are her pins dropping and the baby bulge out the side disappearing which means the calf is moving in to the birth canal.

The pins dropping is explained here https://spiritedrose.wordpress.com/jersey-cattle/medicine-box/how-close-to-calving-photos/ We keep looking and I convince myself something has changed. But then I look at Bluebell for comparison and it seems it is still 'normal'.

From behind now

Comparison is difficult as it depends how much she has eaten and how full her rumen is.

And now - looks just the same to me!

Here are some of the other cows so they don't feel left out

Bluebells udders are still growing. She is due in 2.5 months

Bluebell, not really much of a baby bump yet.
