How long must a calf be breast feed?
A calf should get colostrum within an hour or so after birth. Colostrum in the cow will be produced for the next 24 to 48 hours after the calf is born, but at eat time frame, the quality of the colostrum decreases, which means that if the calf receives its colostrum after 24 hours or more, its ability to survive, and grow into a healthy animal will be diminished. It's CRUCIAL that the calf gets his colostrum within a couple hours after birth, if he is not up and suckling (or has not been up and suckling) by the time you next check on mom and calf.
