Baby watch

This morning Momma looked closer to having a calf.   Judging from the swollen size of her udder's teats I thought she may have had a calf already who had been sucking on them.  Nope.  In addition to her udder's large size, her tail is sitting way up higher and her vaginal area is even more swollen.  She looks to be really close to giving birth.   ...but I thought that before so we'll see.

So I herded Momma into the corral as I don't want to have to search the hayfield for a newborn calf. The other year it took Baby a few days to be able to move around much when Momma gave birth last time.  Also, Momma would give "Grandpa Whiskers" company in the corral.  Still, when the herd is way out in the hayfield both Momma and Grandpa Whiskers look longing at them.


Lots and lots of licking her sides today.
