goat breeds (was Re: kefir questions/maker's diet)

[Guest guest]

The breed of goat makes a difference in the flavor of the milk, too. I'm

told that Oberhasli goats have the highest amount of natural sugar in their

milk, making their milk the richest and most similar to cow milk. My husband

almost refused to try raw Oberhasli milk, claiming that he didn't like goat

milk; but when he finally did try it, he said that it was the best goat milk

he'd ever tasted. I love raw Oberhasli milk and hope to have my own Obie

some day.

>>>I've never tried goat's milk, actually. I've heard it's really foul so

I've made a point to avoid it.

ditto goat cheese.

raw cow's milk is illegal to buy or sell here in NJ. but i wonder about

goat's milk...

I'd really like to try it. a WAPF friend of mine told me the other day

she had goat's milk once that beat any cow's milk. worth looking into.<<<

I believe it depends a lot on what the goat eats. I had some a few years ago

(in a cup of tea) at a property we were staying at and didn't realise it

wasn't cows milk until I was told. I've just found a large block of land

that I'll be buying and building on in the next few months and it's big

enough to have a couple of goats, and chooks, and veggies, and ... -

YIPPEE!!!
