[QUOTE="susie, post: 179730, member: 1553"] My heifer is due to calve in 30 days. this morning I noticed a drop of cream(colostrum ) hanging off the end of one of her teats.So I've been watching the cows( she's with a younger steer). So, what I suspected, the steer is trying to nurse her, so they are now in seperate pastures, as the cow was allowing it. Do I need to purchase some colostrum to have on hand for the calf? The cows are near the house and I keep a real close eye on them, so I know he's not been sucking her much. I also have a goat ready to kid so I was planning on milking out some colostrum from her to freeze to have on hand in case of emergency. I know the antibodies won't cross-protect, bnut not real sure of the antibody protection available in purchased colostrum? [/QUOTE]
