    Powdered Goats Milk

    Can powdered goats milk be used in lieu of milk replacer? I am running short of fresh goats milk and I can't find anyone in my area that has fresh goats milk. Walmart does sell by the quart pasteurized goats milk for $4.00 but that can get costly for me to feed 10 baby alpines. bob
