[QUOTE="primmiemoo, post: 7237441, member: 83588"] From what I've read, cow colostrum is for situations where the flock hasn't enough colostrum to hand milk. It isn't natural to sheep, so it's emergency only. If the donor cow has been vaccinated against clostridials, she will pass some immunity to the colostrum that can pass to a lamb, but it isn't perfect. Here, afterbirth, beddingn and dung is removed from the pen. Lime applied, and then fresh straw on top. Ideally barley. Always have far more pens than the books say, and make sure they are moved to a fresh area, or well cleaned and rested on alternate weeks. [/QUOTE]
