She is TICKED off tonight.
She is TICKED off tonight. Came at me twice with pinned ears and bared teeth for NOO reason at all. Udder is bigger than it's ever been on an evening and bigger than most of her morning udders too. Milk is taking on a skim milk appearance except it still has alot of yellow to it. It's getting sticky again and beginning to be a touch sweet. She's been doing crazy amounts of yawning, stomping, tail swishing, groaning and evil looks. She also didn't finish her dinner again this evening.
She's definitely not far off.
Oh she's hurrying about as
Oh she's hurrying about as fast as she can! Her calcium spiked up, pH dropped down, milk went from clearish yellow and salty to nearly opaque white and sweet, her udder is bursting full and het butt is liquid. She's ready. I'd say any time she feels like going she can.
She had a tiny little piece
She had a tiny little piece of wax on one teat this morning and drips all over one leg. Her calcium is around 800 or 100 and her pH is below what this strip will test (6.8) and based on the stages I'd guess around 6.4 or maybe even 6.2. Obviously her milk is completely opaque, thick, sweet and true white. Her bag is bursting at the seams and she's crabby as heck. She doesn't want to be touched anywhere which is new. She pooped and peed a TON just in the time I was there so she's clearing out. It won't be long now. I don't know if it'll be today or tonight but it will be very soon.
I did have 3 shoots today. I've already canceled the first one and debating the other two. I'll see how she looks closer to time for them (would have to leave around noon and not be back until 4 or so).
I've got pics but I need to spend some time doing a few other things before I mess with them.
She's in for the day for sure. I may let her out to move around some later fully supervised. We'll see.
I'm going to go out and let
I'm going to go out and let her out in the field or the arena... somewhere. I'm going to stay with her in case she starts looking like she's starting something but I'm going to try to make it at least 2 hours. I'll bring her back in right after. I'll leave the cam on meanwhile so you'll know she's still out. I just want her to get some exercise and get some of that energy I'm seeing out and let some of her edema down.
Thanks for watching!!
Camera working fine from this
Camera working fine from this end. I've had the day off after going to the dentist, been watching most of our day, thought for sure she would foal seeing our daytime is your night time but looks like I've got to go to bed now so she should foal in the next couple of hours so I miss it :)
