Veau Simmental français 13802

Schleich - Simmental Calf Figurine - 13802 Calves are generally born once a year. It is very important that they can drink mother's milk from the first hours of their life. This is a special yellowish liquid called "colostrum" which is not edible for humans. It contains many antibodies that help the calf to be less susceptible to diseases. After about five days, the calf has ingested enough colostrum and drinks the normal milk of its mother for another ten months until it can feed only on grass and other plants.
