Yesterday we rescued a spanish/boer goat cross. Today she had twins. All are doing well, but the twins were a little weak. We are thrilled considering the conditions she was in. We had to help them nurse and while doing so I noticed these little clear strings in the colostrum. I have never seen colostrum up close so I have nothing to compare it to. I have researched mastitis and she had no other symptoms. I milked several ounces into a jar and the strings settled to the bottom leaving very pretty, thick, smooth colostrum. Can anyone tell me what this is?
The kids are nursing on their own now and are much stronger.
