[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 643405, member: 6198"] go for the good replacer not the cheap soy stuff (even that is not cheap any more) Once a calf starts to dring reg milk, the rate that a calf can absorb colostrum is greatly diminshed. You will have a great risk in FPT- failure of passive transfer. You are going to need more litres of colostrum to get the right amount of absorbtion. Once a calf first ingests food, the intestines start to "close up" for absorbing the IgG. Got this information from the beef nutrition semenar for farm wives that was held last year. If you are going to calve cows, it is always a good idea to keep on hand a bag of complete colostrum, like calf's choice total. Even if your father does not agree, buy one bag from your wallet. When you need it you have it and then he will be ready to buy the next one...might take a couple of times for him to see the light (have that t-shirt). Good luck [/QUOTE]
