You can switch her to whole cow milk but no matter what you switch her to, it must be done slowly.

I would hope that the goat breeder you are getting her from would at least give you a couple gallons. You need at least that to transfer her over. Maybe if you offer to buy the goat milk, then they would part with a few gallons.
