[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 663374, member: 852"] Sounds like you got everything under control now. Have to disagree with chippie btw -- I've got cows here that will peak at 7-10 gallons/day on a good lactation; they need to be milked out within 24 hours or you risk ruining the udder and ruining the cow. Only way I'd ever leave a dairy cow 3 days without being milked was if she was a downer, and you often have to deal with mastitis after that. Also, colostrum quality declines rapidly after calving, so you'd be better off to milk the cow early to get the best colostrum, then warm it up and feed it to the calf if you're insistent on feeding colostrum for 3 days.
