Nearly 3.00am there and both girs are down rseting

 

[happy appy]

The girls will be out for a few hours while the sun is shining. The cams will be down while they are outside.

 

[happy appy]

I had a chance to get some pictures today. Here are the girls at day 317

Cheerio

Sugar

 

[AnnaC]

Nice steady progress - how are their udders looking?

 

[happy appy]

Cheerios, She is up and down over the last few days.

Sugar is in no rush with her bag, it's just there and that's it.

 

[Eagle]

yep looks like they have some more shopping to do.

 

[happy appy]

Cam is back up for the night! Cheerio still doesn't have a full udder but her tail has no resistance, her croup is soft, she has the V shaped belly and her Vulva is loose as a goose! She is a maiden after all and doesn't seem to want to follow the manual.
Sugar still isn't in any hurry to get things moving. They are sitting at day 318 today.

 

[Eagle]

Here comes breakfast

 

[happy appy]

They love their morning grain! They will be out in the sunshine today for most of the day. It is going to rain on Sunday and Monday this week so I want then to have as much time running (not really running, more sleeping) in the sun as they can get while I'm home.

 

[happy appy]

I moved the girls outside to a different pasture today. They have a hill and some trees to play with today. Both of them are running around like nuts out there, up and down the hill. They haven't been in this pasture for quite a while because of the snow and ice but that has finally melted and dried up. They should be fairly tired when they come in this afternoon. We are expecting rain this afternoon so they will be in before that today. I will take some new pictures today when I bring them in if I remember.

 

[happy appy]

Here are the new pictures!

Cheerio

Sugar

I forgot to add that both girls have a huge edema in front of their udders. I would of thought that it would of went down with all the running and playing they did outside today but it didn't. And Cheerio has one nipple full and firm and both pointed straight down.

 

[happy appy]

Ya Cheerio's body position changed today from previous pictures. It might of been all that playing on the hills.

 

[happy appy]

She is very dropped in the croup area. You can see it in her pictures. She is well covered everywhere so she is not underweight. Just looking malnourished there.

 

[happy appy]

Thanks. She just is so sunken right there, her tail is very loose too!

 

[happy appy]

The girls were out for a short time tonight, we are having a terrible storm with very high winds. Cheerio's udder is a little fuller and so is Sugar's finally!

 

[cassie]
