I was going to send this by e-mail to Nancy, but thought that more of youse guys would like to know a little about goat's milk: Taste - when the does are kept in good clean conditions the milk is sweet and many people can't tell it from cow's milk - they must be kept AWAY from the bucks or the milk will pick up flavor from the buck - glands on the head of the buck secrete an oil that is rank - if you pet a buck on the head and get some of the oil on your hand - there is no way to get it off except wear it off. Butterfat content - approximately same as cow's milk 3-5% - is white - makes excellent cream and butter.( we found a hand cranked separator to make cream ) - will not rise to the top - is naturally homogenized - forms a fine curd in the stomach which is more easily digested ( ulcer patients use a lot of goat's milk ). Ice cream from goat's milk is terrific ( haven't had any in about 40 yrs - but I'm drooling right now) If you can find someone local that has milk to sell - take a look at the place to satisfy yourself that the goats are clean - their quarters clean and airy - plenty of outside space for exercise and grazing and see if they have a permit to sell milk from the door. There is a dairy in Cal. that ships pasteurized packaged milk to a lot of places in the West - it is very good I don't know about the East. The price of fresh goat's milk will probably be 2 to 4 times the price of cow's milk.
