Guest guest Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 If the farmer fed sprouted grain in the winter, maybe the yellow color would remain?I'm thinking he/she would have to expose the sprouts to sunlight in order to get some chlorophyll in them first. It works for my chickens and the color of the yolks...~Hut on the Hill Farm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 No. It doesn't matter what you feed your goats, the milk and butter will always be white simply because goats are more effecient at converting beta carotene to vitamin A. -- In RawDairy , jen van pelt wrote: > > Does this go for goats also?

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 No. Goat milk/cream is always white. As I understand, it does not contain carotene like cows milk does, hence it does not have the yellowish color. I believe this is true for all varieties of goats. Ann > > Does this go for goats also?
