Dexter Milk
« on: April 03, 2011, 06:02:33 pm »
We have  had two lovely calves born in the last week and have started milking both cows. Rose had her calf on 24th March and her milk looks normal. Tiny had her calf on 27th and her milk is not only very creamy but there appears to be blood in it. Is this just the colostrum or something more? Any help gratefully appreciated  :cow:

Sounds like you could have a touch of mastitis.  Time to ask your vet.
