Cow Birthing Feed
If you've ever had a tough birth, you remember the need to regain strength, get that milk flowing for the newborn, and get back on your feet. All mamas need a little extra boost sometimes, especially if they are older or fighting untoward circumstances. When we have a cow that needs a little TLC, this mix is our go-to to strengthen and help them carry on.
