You might want to find some raw goat milk, too. Usually children

who have been diagnosed with failure to thrive do better on the goat

milk than on the cow milk. You can go to the American Dairy Goat

Association website at www.adga.org to find out info about local goat

club and breeders in your area.

The goat milk should taste like the best milk you ever had in

your life, too. SWEET. CLEAN taste without any hint of ANY off

taste. I want to emphasize that because many commercially available,

pasteurized goat dairy products have a really awful capriolic acid

bite. Tastes like a buck goat smells! Your local raw, homegrown

goat milk dairy products SHOULD NOT have this awful bite. The reason

the commercial products do is that goat milk is fragile and doesn't

take handling/shipping well. When the goat milk is bruised from all

that travel, pastuerizing, pumping tank to tank, etc.... the fat

globules burst and release free capriolic acid.

I've been looking for local goat milk but haven't been able to get ahold of it. I have a list of people but only one person has called me back and that person said she didn't have any lactating goats right now but was hoping to get one soon. So, cows milk will have to do for now. Thank you for the information though, I will definitely still keep my eye out for goats milk. In all actuality I would prefer to give him human milk... if I could give him anything that's what it'd be. Our doctor forced me to stop breastfeeding at 7 months. He was losing weight. It didn't help much. He stopped losing but didn't gain until I switched him from the soy formula to the rice milk.

He drank approx 8oz of the cow milk today with no vomiting. If we clear tomorrow without diarrhea then I am betting that he'll thrive on the cow milk. He had a great day today. He looked healthy and was soooo happy.

Hi Tricia, Welcome to the group! I don't know anything about failure to thrive. However you might want to check out Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon. There is also a group DiscussingNT. She does have a recipe for baby formula. In it is goat milk, cod liver oil, and some other ingredients. A lot of mothers on that group say their children do very very well on it.

Hi Tricia, Let me get my two cents worth in. When it comes to raw cow's milk don't worry. I raised 12 children on it. We tried goat's milk from time to time but couldn't fathom the taste. Goat's milk is easier to digest and is great but it definitely is an aquired taste. Over the 27 years that we have been drinking raw, we have bought it from countless sources. For a time, we would even make 2000 mile round trips and get 1 month's worth. People thought we were crazy but we were stuck with facts. Another suggestion is to buy only raw, unfiltered, and pollenated honey as the only sweetener in the house. Raw honey and raw milk combined are awesome for healing whatever ails you. When honey is not heated, it is considered a food. Milk and honey are mentioned several times in the Bible. That is certainly not trivial. You will enjoy your calm child. His nervous system will

grow from real milk. I am happy for your family. God Bless, Barb KTricia Henry wrote: I've been looking for local goat milk but haven't been able to get ahold of it.

Yes I do. In fact, I have a Betty Crocker cookbook that I convert many recipes over from sugar to honey. Over time, you will become an expert. You will also enjoy how your taste buds will "clean up" over a period of time. I am co-owner if a health products company that manufactures a protein bar that is made of organic honey and organic fresh peanut butter. I honestly don't mean to "advertise", but I am proud of our products. Our website is www.perfectfoodsbar.com . People use this bar to take care of their sweet tooth because it has 18+ grams of raw food protein which helps to combat sugar cravings. You may be able to find a local beekeeper who would be willing to sell you honey at a reasonable price. Find one who allows pollen to enter the hives because it will contain local pollen to help your body build immunities to allergies that are common in

your area. God Bless, Barb KTricia Henry wrote: That's awesome! I appreciate your '2 cents', Thank you!I will look for some honey in my local health food store.

Helo all, I must Step In here and State that any Raw Milk that doesnt taste

Delishiously Sweet when fresh is not " Normal " ! Raw Goat Milk Does not

" Normally " taste Strong or " Goaty " Normal Raw goats Milk is Sometimes even

Sweeter and faintly saltier with a pleasant Nutty undertone! but definatly not

gamey or worse! most people cant even tell the difference between Goat and oow

other than color or cream line as goat milk doesnt fully seperate (lacks an

aglutinating protein) So many people are too willing to Fault an entire

species of Dairy Animal just because a few give bad milk Some cows give

" Cowey " tasting Milk (Ewwwwwww!) but almost noone writes of Cows milk becase of

it!

I'd have to agree! Raw goat's milk is wonderful. Our goat's have great

milk and we'll never go back to store bought. Cow's are way too big for

our land, therefore we won't own one. Besides cow's have one calf and

goat's can have between 1-5 kids.

How much land for a goat or two? And are there any good websites or

good books to read up on goat care?

Thanks

Hi Dora,

In general (I say that because everyone's land is different) you can

have 8 goats for every acre of land. In general you can have one cow

for every acre of land.

A good Yahoo group to get you started is NubianTalk. Nubians are a

breed of goat, but they talk goat it doesn't have to be just Nubians.

Although they are known for high butterfat (Nigeran Dwarfs too, but way

smaller). A good book to get started would be Storey's Guide to Raising

Dairy Goats. It's a good general book. I also like Holistic Goats

group.

If there's something you'd like to know in particular, ask, if I don't

know it I might know where to direct you for the info.

I've been raising goat's for years for their milk and if the milk is

fresh, clean and cooled properly most people can't even tell the

difference, unless it's Oberhausli milk then that's a different story.

Most times the milk is not handled properly and that's when there is a

smell or an off taste to it.

So, in your opinion, what is so different about Oberhasli milk,

other than it is naturally lower in butterfat?

I find that the taste of any milk depends largely on diet and

cleanliness. The Obi milk I have had, (over the course of 10 years

or so) always out tasted nubian milk, in my opinion....

Micah,

I have never had Ober milk myself. I do know of 2 people that raise

them that have cross bred them because they said the milk was just too

strong and have heard that from other people before. I just took it for

granted after hearing the same more than a few times about ober milk in

particular. Maybe they complain about the thing that you refer to

as 'out tasting' which I assume means tastes better to you? I guess I

should have included 'so I am told' rather than a blanket statement. My

apologies for any misleading I may have done.

Micah,

I have never had Ober milk myself. I do know of 2 people that raise

them that have cross bred them because they said the milk was just too

strong and have heard that from other people before. I just took it for

granted after hearing the same more than a few times about ober milk in

particular. Maybe they complain about the thing that you refer to

as 'out tasting' which I assume means tastes better to you? I guess I

should have included 'so I am told' rather than a blanket statement. My

apologies for any misleading I may have done.

I have 5 does in milk at this time. 19 goats total. Only 1 goat has

had a strong flavor ( " buck-y " is being kind) and that's because she

had a staph infection. Treated that and she's just as sweet and

delicious as the others. It has been stated on another yahoo group

that too high protein intake can cause an off flavor. Back off the

grain and add more hay. And please do not drink the pasteurized

stuff in the stores. I've yet to taste a milk or cheese from the

local groceries that tasted even as good as the staph infected

goat's!!!!
