I realize I am going to get hammered for asking a dumb question. but I have done a search in the archives and could not find an answer to this question.
when does the cow produce the colestrum?
The reason for asking i have a cow due 3-20-06, I have her in a calving pen, noticed last night that a calf from another cow had got his head thru the 12" spacing on my pipe corral seperating them and was sucking on the preg cow. should I be getting some colestrum for when she does drop?
YES I took care of the problem, calf has been moved totally away from her as were all that were close by!
YES I know I could call a VET for this, but since she has not dropped I do not think it warrants a call to a busy person when I know some one will answer from the board and I am willing to take my lumps.
Thank you for your kind response
