I've raised several on replacer and have had no problems. He is doing well with his Mom so I'll leave him be for now. She is doing really well for her first kid. I like him so much I may keep him as a Wether and train him to be a cart goat or maybe a pack goat. I'll try to handle him as much as possible. He's a cute little bugger. Hank the dog is Poppa dog to all the critters around here. Nothing bothers him. We are fixin to loose him to Lymphoma anytime now. He sure will be missed.
