More on Transition Milk
"Transition Milk is Too Valuable to Sell"
This article [click HERE to go to it online] by Maureen Hanson quotes Dr. Jeremy Schefers from the University of Minnesota Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory, If the link does not work, try this URL

He is quoted as saying that transition milk is easily worth $30/gallon or $300/cwt because of its value in promoting good gut health.
This blog reinforces my transition message in my June 15th Blog on the value of second milkings - about half of the samples tested 50g/L (that is the national threshold for acceptable first feeding colostrum).
