Are there any homemade goat milk recipes??

I was wondering if there are homemade goat milk recipes out there? I might have to make some for DD baby Boer, He is 7 weeks old.

You can feed whole cow's milk from the store, that's adequate. Some places have you mixing all kinds of concoctions, I've tried mixing and straight cows milk with no noticeable difference.

Just do NOT use milk replacer powders. Generally people who use them find they're crap. And I think no cheaper than using cow's milk from the store.

If you don't have goats or raw cows milk I would also do whole milk from the store.

I've seen recipes calling for "x amounts evaporated milk, x amounts of plain yogurt, x amounts water, x amounts molasses/honey/karo syrup" and they get labeled as homemade formula and such......some call for varying amounts of ingredients... I've seen some that call for egg yolks....

I would just use whole milk from the store..... I bought a bottle baby and mixed the goats milk sent by the breeder gradually with cows milk to switch him over..... he's doing great on the whole cows milk...growing like a weed, active, stools normal ect. ect.

Whole cows milk works good enough once they have had their colustrum...
