[QUOTE="angie1, post: 647058, member: 3886"] OK ~ I was out of line here. I came across as snotty, and I apologize. It was not my intention to offend or disregard what you (as well as the other posters) say. And I respect the point you are making. I do however believe that the risk to the cow (as far as developing infection) is minimal. However, the risk is much greater to a calf without colostrum. As to the second issue of cheating the unborn calf, when my goats kidded I milked out and froze a serving of colostrum for future need, and never felt that the kids on the ground already were compromised. I think there is enough of that to share a serving with one in need of it. The original poster had 2 pkts of colostrum ~ I would have given that to the calf and called it good. In the absence of colostrum pkts, I would have taken it from a cow near to calving. [/QUOTE]
