[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 499846, member: 3162"] Train, If you read back through the forum, you'll find a lot of lively discussions on this subject. Some believe one way, and others believe another. I have respect for folks on both ends so mostly I didn't want to go picking wounds. There is also a great deal of discussion on collostrum. There's really no need to go back into all of it. But let me say this. My nurse cow put out a lot of it. She had to be milked down for about three days before I put split calves on her. The splits I bought were one to two weeks old and had already had theirs from the cow they were born to. I took the extra collostrum from my nurse cow and froze it in gallon zip lock bags, just in case I ever needed it. Had a person on this forum take a gallon and I was glad to help. I still have a little if someone else in this proximity gets in a bind. Some prefer store bought and some prefer natural. Whatever suits everyone is fine with me. Train I am glad you were successful with your calves. Some folks aren't. msscamp and milkmaid have both made some good contributions to this subject as have others. Search the threads if you are interested in researching it. THere is a lot of good info in the historical discussions on this. [/QUOTE]
