Im speaking hypothetical and just thinking about different circumstances that I could encounter. So my question is: If one must bottle feed a calf, obviously it must get colostrum very soon after birth, but does this colostrum have to be from the same breed? For example if I was to go get some milk containing colostrum from my friends dairy cows and gave it to a new born angus calf will this have the same effect or does it have to be from the same breed? I assume this is right because if you buy it from a place like southern states there isn't different types for each breed. (Atleast to my knowledge.)
