Does it specifically say lamb replacer only? Mine says "lamb and kid" replacer, and has different mixing instructions for each type. What kind of replacer is it?Iceblink said:So I bought a big bag of lamb milk replacer and ended up not needing most of it. Can I use it to feed a bottle goat?
I've read that sheep milk is.. richer than goats' but maybe if I dilute it?
I just looked up the guaranteed analysis on both the LOL Kid and Lamb milk replacers. They're pretty different. Here's the lamb, here's the kid.Iceblink said:It is "Ultra Fresh Lamb Milk Replacer" by Land O Lakes. The directions don't say anything about kids, just lambs.
I already have it, so I didn't want to buy something else, but I will if I have to.
Where we are, i have not even seen Kid milk replacer. We've used the Land O' Lakes Lamb replacer, thru the years, to stretch the goat milk when necessary. Compared to other brands it seems to do a better, more consistant job. Of course... nothing beats straight goats milk !

You're completely right! You just have to find what works for you!RockyToggRanch said:I'd guess that 50% of the goat people I asked, and articles I've read, are for vit D milk and the other are for replacer...and both are dead set against the other. And both are sucessful. It's tough for a newbie..
