Santas and Duhram Reds
Well-known member
have a calf that did not get colostrum. Thought I saw my angus Prime Time calf nursing on one of my Durham Red heifers and went on my way. Next afternoon noticed that the calf never successfully latched on. Got cow caught and taught calf where it needed to go to get dinner. She kept chewing on the heifers hair where the leg joins the body. Anyways, she knows where to go now and is going to town. Question... is there anything you recommend? I know the time has passed to absorb the benefits of colostrum. Been skimming the internet and of course find all the importance of colostrum but nothing on management or what to do if colostrum absorption is inadequate or absent.
