I used to think it was God's beverage or food of choice. Big difference between goats and cows. Cow's is great tasting, especially if you get the fist milking and skim off the fattiest portions that separate to the top. Problem is that it is very rare to find grass fed cows just having given birth. But energy wise it was great, and I pretty close came to be addicted to it. Second or third or fourth milking is truly inferior stuff and can be more like milk than milkshake like first milking. I didn't have anything to heal, so I can't comment on it's healing properties, but certainly didn't do any harm. I tend to not do dairy at all now, and have no idea as to how it would sit. I searched it out when I was relying on my own grass fed goats milk/kefir/yogurt in raw preparation. If one was trying hard to put on weight by exercise or other, I would think one could gain appreciably with colostrum. Stay away from inorganic non grass fed grained cows that get medication or drugs.
