[haflingerfriends] Re: First foal

Victoria,

Yes you can freeze colostrum. I worked on a TB farm foaling out mares and the mares that had huge bags we milked some colostrum out for the 'just in case' foals that became orphans or their mom dripped it all out for days before foaling etc...

I know last year when my mare aborted she did fine in a day or two after the loss of her filly. I was the one having a harder time of it. they usually adjust fine.

I am so sorry for the loss..Alto is a beautiful boy and I feel for the mare. I know after giving birth to my daughter, I would have taken on a grizzley bear to defend her. I hope the mare is not in too much distress for too long...can you freeze the colostrum?
