[QUOTE="Ruark, post: 824312, member: 16279"] I've had a couple of cows leased on my place (not my cows) give birth in the middle of the night. That got me thinking, since it's apparently critical that calves get their colostrum the first couple of hours after birth, how do you know if they got it or not? When you wake up in the morning and your cow's standing with a newborn calf, would it be advisable to go ahead and give them something like IgG or Colostrx 130 anyway, just in case, or could it be harmful if they really didn't need it? Is there any reason to not just give it to ALL newborns? Thanks, Ruark Evant, TX [/QUOTE]
