Cow's milk. that is what they were on when we got them from a guy that has about 60-70 goats. He has always gave his bottle babies cow's milk and never a problem. We bought 3 others from him and they are just fine. They are happy and jumping around and love to play with our two cats. They will jump right in your laps if they can get there. The younger one likes to lay her head on your chest. It is so sweet. They are happy goats. I have heard bad stories about replacer also and don't think I would try that.

With my bottle babies, I always use whole Vit. D cows milk along with some PolyVisol baby vitamins. They have done very well with it with.

That is what I am using. That is what they were on when we got them. I would not want to change their diet on them.
