[QUOTE="Sylution, post: 4333948, member: 6646"] How are the calves performing? I have never tested colostrum before this year. However I had colostrum balls from forfarmers when buying transition cow cake. And like you I was surprised at the quality, over half the cows calved are 3 or 4 balls floating which means average colostrum. I do give animax bolus at drying off. So i would not count on better colostrum. However cows are cleansing much better an calf vigour seems to have improved. I try to give the best colostrum to dairy replacements now, but if they suckle the cow they get what they get. If you did not test you would not know. Si you have a good starting point. [/QUOTE]
