Searching for a doe in milk. SW MO/ NW AR/SE KS/ NE OK

[1cock2hens]

Hi all,, I'm in Mcdonald County Missouri( I'm 20 minutes north of pearidge Arkansas, an hour from ne Oklahoma, an hour from se Kansas ), I've been searching for a dairy goat because of this formula shortage but have had no luck finding a suitable goat and we are having alot of trouble finding baby formula currently. I would love help finding an Inexpensive/free dairy goat to feed my babies, I have a 20 month old and 10 month old, if anyone has the hookup or a good lead I would greatly appreciate any and all information given.

Are there any folks with Nigerian Dwarf goats in your area? Their milk tastes better than most goat milk since it's a bit higher in fat. Mine milk 1 quart+ a day. You will need at least 2, since they are herd animals. I'm nowhere near you, or I'd help with milk. Your best bet would be to find out if there's a Nigerian Dwarf goat club in your state and contact them. That's how I wound up with my girls.

Do the babies need a certain type of formula?
I am in a large city and the shortage if here too but I can keep an eye out for specific formulas for you.

You're kind, last time I was at the grocery store they had no baby formula at all and my smallest one loves the goat milk so I think we are going to keep her on powdered goats milk, it's cheaper than formula too.

Ideally I would love a Nigerian doe in milk, I have a Nigerian buck, I'm picking up 2 Nigerian does today actually but they are still young, price was just too good, im still looking fir a goat in milk though

I don't know a thing about goats milk. Let me know if you need me to look out for powdered goat milk at my grocery stores.
I'm in Houston and I have thousands of grocery stores although I only visit a handful regularly.

Super cute goats!

I can't believe I forgot about this, but as far as finding raw milk itself this might be helpful. The Weston A Price Foundation might also have info on where to get raw milk. Local Harvest might also be a place to find farms that have milk.

Have you checked your local Craigslist? I noticed that my local one has goat's and goat milk in the Farm and Garden section.
