[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 623535, member: 968"] I like the brand name LIFE-line. Had an article in my newsletter a few years ago, comparing the different brands & this one rose to the top. It IS great to have a bag around all during calving. No thawing out, heating up frozen colostrum at nasty hours of the night (don't you always have your worse problems at night???) Frozen colostrum from your OWN herd is absolutely the best - but --- powder is REAL EASY! Be careful feeding full dose colostrum after 1 day old. Remember, it IS a laxative also. I would also strongly recommend going direct to a farmer. Even if the calves cost twice as much, dead calves don't make you any money, and a newborn from the sale barn is looking for a place to die - worse than sheep! You will be surprised how much money you will tie up real quick if even ONE gets sick and you SAVE IT. And, once a calf has gotten sick, research has proven they never perform as well as their contemporaries that did not get sick. [/QUOTE]
