We haven't had the best luck with bottle babies on Universal Milk replacer, and whole milk from the store is so expensive. This year, before we even had any kids, we were at Rural King and saw a bag of calf milk replacer that was torn. They guy gave it to us for half price, so a 50lb bag only cost $35.00! We were thrilled, and very hopeful. Well, the twins are just now 4 weeks old, and they are bigger than the ones one their Moms! These are absolutely the best looking bottle babies we have ever had.

Yes, I believe that most milk replacers are bad for ANY of the animals who consume them. They are made from by-products of other industries. Nasty stuff.
Those of us who have been on this forum for a while have read more disasters from milk replacer than success stories.
Baby goat digestion is designed for milk products, not soy based industrial garbage.
I think there is ONE goat milk based commercial milk replacer out there. http://www.calvetsupply.com/product/Goat_A_Lac_4lb/Dog_Cat_Milk_Replacer_Colostrum
If whole milk from the store is too expensive, find a local goat breeder (with a tested herd) with extra milk.
