not sure where this should go,,but,

can someone help me?? us...??

see we are slowly gettin a buncha farm critters,, an many of them that we get cheap gotta be bottle fed,,an it seems that the milk replacer not only has dried skimmed milk in it,,it also has,,ANIMAL FAT!!! an its even a greater amount than the milk content in the stuff...

so to us it seems horribly wrong to feed a vegan animal such as a baby goat or cow such,,well,,UN'vegan things...


could someone offer us a vegan alternative milk replacer for goats and cows??err kids an calves?/

much thanks..

 

How about actual, raw, unpasturized cow milk for the calves and goat milk for the goats?

 

Well that would be a viable option iffin it was like viable,,,

see we aint got time to run round lookin fer a serragate tit fer the kid,,an its mamma had triplets an she aint got but two tits,, ya see the dilema that arrises??

surley ya do??

hey,, maybee we could put a ad in the paper fer non pasturized goats milk,,??

naaaa,, by the time we got any the lil shit woulda done croaked..beyond that,, goats milk is retardedly exspensive...

specially bein these are bein raised to breed to sell as meat on the hoof to mexicans....

 

I do see your dilema......and I don't also. Is it absolutly necessary to have a fully vegan diet for these kids and calves at the bottle fed stage?? I gather you are going to raise these animals to just live, like rescue them from a horrible and short life so as not to end up as tacos.

I have never bottle fed a kid or calf anything but the real thing or a milk replacer. and I never really felt that good about the replacers... I mean they just seem like a convoluted mix of milk and animal fats. I'm sure it can be done, but I really have no idea how to make a vegan milk replacer.

Does it come down to the animals lives over a vegan principle??

 

you know that the goat should be able to nurse triplets, they won't grow as big as fast but it should work. unless the doe is not yours. we always just milked the goats and fed them goats actual milk. a sheep would also nurse a baby goat. the problem with most milk replacers is that you need to not mix it as strong because you kid/calf ends up with the runns and then you got another sick animal on your hands. Good luck HHB try milking your goat. even if you just make sure the kid gets two bottles a day and nurses with mama the rest of the time. it will survive
