Guest guest Posted March 19, 2002 Report Share Posted March 19, 2002 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?
