Simmental Calf Toy

Calves are born around once a year. It is important they drink their mother’s milk within the first few hours: the special yellowish liquid, colostrum, contains numerous antibodies that help the calf resist disease and cannot be drunk by humans. After around five days the calf will have had enough colostrum and will then drink normal cow’s milk for around ten months until it can nourish itself exclusively from grass and other plants.
