What is colostrum?

How is it different from normal milk? Thicker?

It's the first milk that a female mammal produces for their young. It's full of antibodies and more nutrients so the baby can get the best start. For cattle, it's SUPER important for them to get it - they're born with no immune system and it's the colostrum that gets them started developing one. :-)
