Day 160 and waiting

Bianca is at day 160 and still no babies. I figure if she doesn't have them soon, there must have been a breeding I was not aware of. But, she is still close no matter what. Her ligaments are loose, switch from gone to barely back. Her udder is full and getting fuller. She is holding her tail in the same weird cockeyed way her mother does just before kidding. She is stretching and all, so anytime now I guess. Of course, I just knew she would kid a few days ago when we had a blizzard blow through. Temps weren't too cold, but we had several feet of snow.

I know she isn't 160 days bred

She is 160 from the first time I saw her get bred in the buck pen. She was there for what should have been 2 cycles. So, I'm guessing I have another couple weeks at this point or she wasn't in heat when I thought she was. Either way...its a waiting game.
