I kept a milk goat for several years. The milk is much more perishable than cows milk. I found that everything had to be clean, the goat, me, the pens, the milk bucket, the milk containers, everything! I found that a gallon, one milking when fresh, could not be cooled fast enough in a regular refrigerator. This is the real secret of good goats milk, divide the milk into one quart jars and put them in the freezer. Leave in the freezer until the milk is below forty degrees., about two hours, but do not allow to freeze. The milk can then be stored in a regular refrigerator if the door is not opened too much. When done right, goats milk is much better tasting than even the best of cows milk. Make sure that the goat has had her shots and that the dairyman follows clean procedures. Be happy to pay top dollar for good goats milk, four to six dollars a gallon. Enjoy! George Campbell
