[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 493232, member: 539"] Yes. A good practice to get into is to milk out the colostrum from any cow that loses her calf at birth and freeze it in pint containers - that way you can thaw out only as much as you need, and not compromise the quality of all of it. It will last a fair amount of time frozen, and is invaluable for situations like this. If you don't have frozen colostrum, I would be sure and give that calf as much powdered colostrum as he/she will drink/take via tubing. Needless to say, the heifer would grow wheels - very quickly!
