I think today is the day! Her little tail has been up a lot and she looks like she's going to fall out. She had a big breakfast, so now I'll see if my prediction is accurate. :idunno
5 expectant ewes. Three sbf and 2 finn.
I believe this gal will be my first to go. She is a first timer with a huge bag. Her vulva went from red soft and floppy to dark and sort of swollen. I can't tell if she's dropped yet - both her and her mother carry a lot of weight is the butt area. 😁
