[QUOTE="Princess Pooper, post: 4339822, member: 971"] We use Lifeline pre-calver buckets but I appreciate that may not be suitable for larger herds and are also not suitable for outdoor use in TB areas. Most seem to lick from them and as long as they have had about 2-3 weeks on them, colostrum quality is usually OK. We do notice a difference if a cow or heifer has only had 1-2 weeks on them, then when tested the colostrum is not worth saving / feeding (or labelled as only for second feeds) [/QUOTE]
