[QUOTE="coolpop, post: 414880, member: 2628"] most of the time the cow will loose a little mucous, mostly clear several months before calving. about a week before calving the udder gets large, engourged with colostrum, the rump gets saggy, more mucous, sometimes even bloody. about a month before calving you'll see the cows stomach change shape several times - the stomach will appear to be low then high then low again - when this change takes place you can assume ([i]although nothing is ever certain[/i]) that the calf has gotten turned around and into position (both feet & nose first). a few days before calving you may also see the "big barrel" look of her stomach start to flatten out a bit - another indication that the calf has moved into the position for birth.
