Watching Popeye - setting up the camera in her stall

She is due Feb. 6th and has been showing signs of beginning labor. We got the camera moved over to her stall and will start posting videos. I will not be editing the videos because I want to share the reality of calving. So be prepared for all the beauty and the messiness of the miracle!

Countdown to Popeyes calving II (01/01/12)- Due Feb. 8th

Her vulva has started to swell, caused by the hormone changes as she gets closer to her due date.

The baby has moved back a bit as Popeyes shoulders are now more prominent.

Our Jersey cow, Popeye is getting so close to her due date. This will be her 3rd calf. She was bred to a beautiful, huge registered Jersey bull. We're hoping she has a little heifer, but definitely a healthy calf!

I'm going to document these next couple of weeks with (hopefully) lots of pictures. Some of the are going to be graphic. But knowledge is good right! I'll warn ya in the title, so it won't be a surprise for those of you that don't want to see.
