Re: Goats Milk vs. Formula

Hi Sue,

We've had to bottle feed in the past and actually mixed the raw goat's milk
with lamb formula just to make the goat's milk go farther.  I think that
goat milk is great for almost any animal especially if it is local where the
goats are exposed to the same eliments as the sheep, that way antibodies are
beneficial to your area.  Our lambs have done wonderful on this and are
always vigorous and healthy.  Good luck!
