    • Chinese New Year - Year of the Goat, Due February 12 2015

    BTW Vicki when my daughter was a baby she couldn't drink baby formula milk or cow's milk without getting really bad digestive problems which kept us all up all night - someone recommended goats milk and it was a god send !

    I wish more people knew about goat milk, and didn't have the (very false) idea that it tastes like barnyards.
    I have always believed the milk wasn't handled properly, or perhaps not chilled soon enough. People who drank my goat milk liked it BETTER than cow milk.

    Thank goodness you found out about goats milk, and tried it!
     
    Vicki, what kind of goats do you raise? I had a herd of mostly Toggenburgs for years--like yours, they all had names and came when called--loved to be petted and snuggled and played with. They are better than dogs, and just as smart! I really miss them. . .

    Nubian, Saanen, Toggenburg, and French Alpine.
    I raise them mostly for milk and milk products, and since the above breeds are good milk producers, plus produce milk of high to very high butterfat content, this works well for cheese making when I blend the milk output.

    Minnesota is getting quite a reputation for goat breeding and the Minnesota Dairy Goat Association gets larger every year.
     
    I absolutely ADORE goat's milk cheese!!
    My Mum tells a very funny story of her Dad coming home one night very proud of himself and leading a goat. My Nana asked him what he was doing and he said that he had bought the goat so that the children (my Mum and her siblings) could have fresh milk each day. My Nana took one look and asked him where this milk was supposed to come from. . . you guessed it, my Pa had brought home a BILLY instead of a nanny goat.
    Needless to say the goat didn't stay the night.:laugh:
