Can you feed an orphaned (newborn) goat puppy milk replacement?

Okay so two of our goats recently had babies, and what we've been doing is taking them away from their mothers after a few days so that they will be use to being around humans as they grow up. So far the method is working, but what I'm wondering is if you can use puppies milk replacement formula on them. We can't find the goat formula at Walmart or any other store. So can someone please help out on what sort of milk we could use?

    Get lamb formula at the feed store or tractor supply or wheelers. Puppy replacer won't do it.

    In an emergency, formula for human babies is better than puppy replacer. Get that gerber kind with 'comfort proteins'

    to add to others answers as well you should have the puppies looked at mom if she was really trying to kill them there may be something wrong with them, or the mother felt they were unsafe for some reason and i think you should let mother nature take its course. She trys her best to help with the over population. I hope hat all is well with them and that mom is okay. But im A FIRM BELIEVER THAT ITS MOMS JOB TO TAKE CARE OF HER BABIES. I hope that you are right and not just depriving mom of her babies because of a misunderstanding on your part. Lots of luck yo you and your new breed don't forget to use a rag to stimulate the poop. They can not poop on there own so you need to "lick" the butt and lower bellies to stimulate the poop. every 4 to 6 hours
