[QUOTE="cowgirl_jenna, post: 1002606, member: 20102"] Colostrum comes in many different shades/Consistency. In my experience, the few beef cows i've had to milk out of, the beef seemed to have much thicker and darker colostrum vs the dairy cows I've milked out of. Beef animals usually have great colostrum. Personally, as long as the calf drank it, I dont think I'd worry too much. I have seen some really bloody colostrum from some dairy heifers, but that was really blood color. You may want to check the cows temp. if you can easily just to be sure, but it doesn't sound like mastitis to me as it wasn't lumpy and her udder isn't hard. Is the calf doing good/drinking?
