that cow will have a GINORMOUS bag when she gets ready and will be flopping around like a fat girl eating jello in the back end.
 
the picture of her is not that good but her bag is starting to fill up
anyhow i guess it will come whenever it is ready :D
 
Not a bad looking heifer, but going by the picture I'd guess another 2-4 weeks, at least.

This one calved the other day; picture taken 3-4 days prior.

it is hard to tell with first timers but this one last year calved on 2/4 this pic was 6 days before. she was making a bag 3 months earlier. and what a bag she had.everybody said she will not go to february. i knew when she was bred.

Notice the sunken-in look betwen the tailhead and the pin bones. Yours is not ready yet, swollen a bit, but I'd keep an eye on her and note the changes day-to-day as she progresses. Could surprise you but watch closely and observe.
Good luck
