We usually keep a dose or two of lamb colostrum available at lambing time for emergencies. We used to get it in our local WCF but that has turned into a gym!! The other agric merchant in town was out of colostrum, so I was looking online. My goodness, colostrum is expensive! We haven't needed any for many years, but we do like to have it available.
So where do you buy small quantities of colostrum, just a prefilled bottle or single sachet would do? Is there a supplier which doesn't charge the earth, but still supplies good quality?
I'm thinking maybe we should collect some from the first ewe to lamb, and freeze it. But what if we have a problem with that first one? Please don't suggest getting some from 'a friendly farmer' - no-one has time to be friendly at lambing time.
