Her udder is huge, but her milk has almost dried to nothing. My guess is that it is preparing to come back as colostrum and we will be in business. This could happen overnight. We are getting closer everyday.

Day 331
Well here we are at day 331. Her udder is exactly the size it was last year when she was 24 hours from foaling. Dare I to hope she will follow that routine? Only problem is her milk is still not where we want it to be for foaling and until that happens I'm afraid we just sit and wait.

Day 328
Well there is not much time left. Buff is big and pregnant, and her udder is nice and full. We are just waiting on her milk to change. Maybe she will foal by the weekend.

313 days
Buffy's milk has changed from 10% ready to foal to 40% ready overnight. We are heading in the right direction. The new camera arrives and hopefully gets installed tonight. Then we will get a nice clear, crisp pic of what our girl is up to all night long.

311 days
Buffy is now on Marestare. You can actually watch her in her stall as she sleeps, eats and poos!!! How exciting is that. At the moment the picture is very fuzzy as I have a wireless cam and it picks up alot of interference. I hope to be able to borrow a wired cam this week and fix that. But none the less, it is pretty cool to be able to watch her no matter where I am, like during the day at work.
Of course she is not far enough along to leave her in during the day. She needs her exercise to keep fit for the upcoming event. But she will be in her stall and one Marestare from about 6pm at night to 9 am in the morning. Check it out, and I'll get working on getting the pic clearer.

300 days pregnant
We're starting to get close. Buff has foaled for me on days 326 and 337. So not so far from now we'll be seeing her precious little one.
Shaved Buff's belly in ensure baby does not get fur in his mouth when he/she roots for her udder. It is often an issue with minis as they shed insanely in the spring. Buffy has already started shedding bigtime.
Her udder is showing a small amount of filling, but nothing serious which is normal for her. I expect serious uddering to begin around day 310-315.
All is going as expected, will update when something significant occurs.
