I just wanted to thank those who responded to my question re humane

milk/meat. Every one's comments made good sense - the better the animals are

treated the better quality food they produce.

My only lingering concern, is how to find appropriately fed and treated

animals in my area where the winters are long and pasturing is not an

option. I'm going to look around to see if I can locate goat's milk...so, I

was wondering what type of questions I should ask a goat farmer...?

Are most or all of the questions that are appropriate for cow farmers the

same for goat farmers? (the feed, the soil, the breed)

Is there some breed of pituitary freak among goats? A goat " Holstein, " that

is, which I should avoid? Is there a breed of goats that produces healthier

milk than others?

What should goats eat in the winter?

What are reasonably humane living conditions for goats in the winter when

they cannot be pastured?

Is there some other question I haven't thought of which I should pose to

goat farmers?

TIA :)
