Maybe our ewes will birth tonight!
update: Rose has more mucus coming out of her vulva. I want her to stay active, so I took her on a mile and a half walk this morning.
This will be her 3rd time. I have been watching her all morning from my window so I don't bother her too much. I have noticed that over the past couple hours she has gotten even more like that. She is getting lazier and looks to be in contractions more often.
Thanks! I was wanting to make sure I was not getting my hopes up for nothing! I’m really excited! She has been in pain all day. She is acting odd and did not hesitate or flinch when my hand rubbed over her collar. She just wanted love and comfort. She is grunting and making odd sounds all...
My ewe is due this weekend and has a decently sized udder. The teats are hairless along with the area around them. She has been agitated and uncomfortable all day today. She plays with her lips, curls it up, lifts her head to the sky, and walks stiffly. She grazed a little bit, but is now...
Maybe I was wrong! She is grazing now. Do they graze during early labour? She is walking stiff and odd a little though. Her hind legs look kinda like sticks.
Her udder is not very big, but it looks pretty tight. The teats are not very engorged, but they are sticking out to the side. Her udder is hairy, but not around her teats. There is about an inch of space around them without hair. (Hoping we are close!)
Months?! I have heard from everyone else that the udder fills up at about 10 days before! I have a ewe who looks very similar to the first one posted (white one) and am wondering how long? Her udder filled up a lot today!
