Is Hainoa about to give birth?

Here is a picture of Venus. She is growing well. Hainoa and Islay went to visit the bull on the same day that Buttercup was AIed with Venis. They stayed there for two months, so it should hopefully be sometime in the next 4-6 weeks that they give birth depending when they came into heat.

I thought last weekend that Hainoa's pins had gone, but I couldn't get close to Islay to check. Doug checked and decided they had not. This weekend I think they have! However her udder has not filled up and normally the pins go 24-48 hours before giving birth (they are tendons at the root of the tail that hold the hips together)

Not really much of a bump, compared with the jersey's anyway. There is some mucus

This was taken yesterday, the tail is meant to lift up a bit at the top when the pins go. I don't see that here really. So we just need to keep waiting. Surely it will happen soon!
