How long after calving do you wait before consuming milk

 

[bigbull338]

sometimes it takes 5 or 6 milking or more to get the milk pure white.and thats with no clostrum or flakes in it.once you get to that point its drinkable.

I wait a week.
You could drink it in less, at around a week it doesn't taste like colostrum any more.

The standard in US Grade A dairy is about 3 days I believe.

Are you sure the op isn't referring to the calf nursing? Just a thought.......

It is perfectly fine to drink colostrum, it just is not like milk. My people make a food from colostrum, adding a little sugar and a little salt, the put in the oven until it is coagulated. Its name is "Kalvdans", crudely translated it means calf dance.
Over a few days the colostrum gets diluted with and eventually replaced by ordinary milk, usually it is possible to get sale quality within three or four days.
