I do not know what volumes you require and if you need a regular supply, but there are not many dairy farms in that area; if you need several farms you probably need to look further afield - south Leicestershire has quite a cluster in the Nuneaton area.

Many Thanks for the response. At this early stag we are looking for around 25 to 30 litres per week & we believe this will increase. Do you have any contact or farm names that we can talk to please ? We would really appreciate your help.

How many milkings do you count as 'colostrum?' Strictly speaking it is the first 24 hours after calving, but is your definition that tight? You are going to need either all year round calving herds or a combination of herds calving at different times of year - unless you can freeze it before you use it?

Yes. Things will workout with the milk which is within the 24 hrs timeframe and we are planning to freeze the supplies whenever we get it.

interested to know what you want it for, but colostrum freezes well.
