Inadequate Milk Production
I have two cria born within two days of one another ~ one mom had lots of milk and the baby is thriving. The other mom has low milk production and the cria, at two weeks of age, is not gaining weight like the other cria. What kind of milk supplements would anyone suggest? I have never had to supplement a cria before.

Thanks, Renee. He has grafted to another mom which is great. Also have him on sheep/goat milk replacer which he is not crazy about but took about 3 ounces this am without a rodeo. He definately has more energy than he had 4 days ago.

Hi Virginia,
We bought a cria that was 2 wks old at an auction. We bottle fed her for 8 months. She now weighs 430 lbs and is a very strong girl. Just spoiled. We used Sav-A-Caf, Grade A Ultra 24 Multi Purpose Milk Replacer. We have told others about it also and they had good luck with it. Hope you cria does well!!! Renee
