Actually, it's not uncommon to give goat kids cow milk, to break the disease transmission cycle for CAE/CL. You would ideally use milk from a breed that is high in butterfat, like a Jersey. Goat milk is much better than milk replacer... I've never had a lamb or kid raised on replacer do as well as one raised on milk.
