[QUOTE="TexasCountryWoman, post: 33379, member: 425"] The pregnant cow should produce colustrum based on her own hormones after she gives birth. But separating would be preferable if you can do it. It is not unheard of for calves to go from cow to cow. My calves have done such as that before and I have had no bad out comes. You could always call your vet for specifics about the colostrum. I had a heifer that squirted vast quantities of milk for 10 days before calving and I was concerned about that as it was soaking her legs and tail. Then I found out that neighboring cows were doing it because we had such a lush spring that the cows were just all gushing. It must have been colostrum they were all squirting. I was the talk of the countryside, the higher than average number of squirty pregnant beef cows. [/QUOTE]
