I used to get real colostrum from area dairy farms but they have sadly dissapeared from my area. This is the next best thing. As always, Premier delivered this fast and at less than the cost of everyone else. I know I can trust Premier products.

Best colostrum replacer on the market. It has the highest levels of IgG compared to any other product I’ve found, and it mixes great! Slightly higher priced, but worth every penny.

I usually use Land O Lakes lamb colostrum. I thought I’d try this. I do use Shepherd’s Choice milk replacer and recommend it to everyone. The packaging for this product doesn’t include a pre-measured scoop or the same chart listed in the directions here. So I had to look this up to find the dry weight (grams) conversion to tablespoons. This addition to the bag chart would be helpful. Otherwise it just wasn’t as thick as I’m use to. I’m sure it will serve its purpose.

I have used and tried several other colostrum replacers in the past and this is the best by far. It mixes up nicely and doesn’t leave excess milk fat in your mixing container. It also will flow nicely through a tubing syringe and tube without needing to use the plunger. Works great in the barn with a protein shake mixer bottle. Would not even consider using any other colostrum replacers on the market!
