Milk is milk protein not soy , learned that one year ago . Thanks for the reply . Old milk was not stored in freezer , just doubled bags. Thought about slowing mixing a cup in with the new .
Is there an expiration date? I've never bottle fed a calf... but a lot of other stuff. I'd be inclined to use expired stuff for my own use but don't know about milk replacer. Powdered milk for human use lasts a long time.
No expiration date , just the date it was manufactured ? This is the new bag .
What happened to them, Coach? What kind of cow and what kind of bull was she bred to?
From memory I think it can have some additives in it that are not good for dogs, I'd check on the bag for any warnings.
One of my son's Hereford cows . Don't have a clue . That's the pasture close to the bluff(Sand Mtn ) looking down on the Tennessee River. I've looked for ivy , cherry trees , everything I can thing of that might be poisonous. We do kill rattlesnakes and copperheads up there every summer . Plus it was one of the weeks we had several bad storms with lightning. So I wish I knew . Little fellow is out of my Deer Valley All in son . So he's a black baldie . Took me over a week to find him . I've bush hogged the terraces in the pasture ( about 60 acres) but the grass is so lush I couldn't find him . He's thin and isn't taking the bottle great but he's too valuable to give up on him . We use to give orphan calves to local kids but with school starting no one wanted to fool with him . So I've got another job on my list .
All expiration dates say "best before"…not "bad after"
Last time I did that I bought a beautiful young jersey with a beef bull calf at her side . Had an orphan and a twin to go on her . I reckon her owner let her bag go bad before I got her at the sale . Friend son worked at the sale barn and called me with this prize jersey cow . I think I saved 1 quarter on her and lost the twin and bottle fed the orphan . Never again said the Raven ! I admire your herd and what you do with your girls but I'm just not set up for that .
That's an awful experience coach. Sorry to hear about that. It's always a gamble at the sales. Anything like that, I sure like to talk to the owner before the sale.
I've not heard of merricks.
