RE: [AlpacaTalk] what to use?

 

Goats actually do better on store bought cow milk than any of the replacers.  Or fresh if you have a trusted source of raw cow milk.    Ellie (who has 35 years experience of raising goats and is author of the definitive goat book) http://beyondthesidewalk.com Marketing Workshops, Books, blog/free newsletter & consulting: Growing Your Rural Business: From the Inside Out Marketing Farm Products: and How to Thrive Beyond the Sidewalk Economy Proofing Rural Business Making Money With Goats --- On Sun, 3/21/10, Daniel Emmerich <enchantedmeadows@hotmail.com> wrote: From: Daniel Emmerich <enchantedmeadows@hotmail.com> Subject: RE: [AlpacaTalk] what to use? To: alpacatalk@yahoogroups.com Date: Sunday, March 21, 2010, 7:05 AM I have mixed kid milk replacer with mom's milk and they all did fine.  Make the change slowly with adding the milk replacer now, before you run out of moms milk.    It stretches moms milk out and if you start milking 3x a day, it will not be a big deal when she supplies to all.    I hope that helps.  Peggy.

She only gives about 1/2 gal. of milk per day,  which i mix with some frozen milk, I had last year, from another goat.  BUT now i'm running out of the frozen milk. And wondering what I  can mix with  moms milk, so there is enough, for each day.  the kids are  a week old, and doing very good,  i'm feeding them at 8:00 12:30, 5:30 and the last feeding at 10:00 at night.  That has been working pretty good.  Should I mix moms milk with kid replacer? I sure hate to change things (formula). But when you run out, you have to do something!  any suggestions?                                                          Carolyn   5395 w. 1275 s Cedar City, Utah. 84720 phone # 435-865-2697 Fax # 435-865-1225 Cell # 435-233-0636 email Meadowsranch435@ aol.com website www.freewebs. com/meadowsranch Hotmail: Trusted email with powerful SPAM protection.
