Re: self-intro- in PA/milk taste

[Guest guest]

I believe there is a difference between breeds. Nigerian Dwarfs,

Pygmy's, Kinder's and Nubian and Boer all have higher fat milk. The more

cream in the milk the better it is. I don't much like Alpine and Togg's.

Just tastes watery to me...Feeding influences milk too. Alfalfa and

grain help to make a milk taste more " normal " (by that I mean according

to what we like) although I've heard that in other areas of the world

they don't like that.

JJ, you said that importing goats was difficult in your situation. Can

you use AI? One of the reasons I suggested using the native does was

that some of the immunity would come through the dam and they would have

a better chance of living. I'm afraid if you just buy does and import

them they may not do as well due to parasites and disease that they have

no immunity to.
