I usually use Land O Lakes lamb colostrum. I thought I’d try this. I do use Shephard’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 do think I prefer the Land O Lakes though. Hope this helps!

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!

Great products, prompt service, but the shipping costs are a bit high.
