Yes, Mt Sterling is a cheese plant in Wisconsin. We have two local dairy

goat farmers that sell their milk to them. They both have herds of over 100

milking goats and are making pretty good money right now. They live in

Austin and New Richland, Minnesota. By the way, I make kefir all the time

with our goat milk and have not had any problem with it being goaty.

Believe me, I know what that tastes like!

You know, we should really refer to the 'goaty' taste as a " bucky " taste since

it comes from the

males. Especially since that leads me to think of 'Bucky' Fuller and results in

a cascade of word

associations that ends with a molecular word association that sets me to

laughing because of its

relationship to the source of that flavor. ...and that's all I should say about

that. ;-)

Funny! Seriously though, I'm told that bucks hanging with the does make for

funky milk...funky

like old socks not funky like Moloko from A Clockwork Orange. Apparently their

musk or something

is able to permeate everything.

I am also looking for ways to feed goats without the use of grain.

Our goats here at Camphill get a mixture of grains, mostly oats, with

some sunflower seeds as a treat. They also seem to enjoy pea pods,

kale, willow, and other leftovers from the garden. I'm wondering if I

can reduce their grain when they are getting all these good veggies.

I talked to our beef farmer and she said that the only grain they use

with the cattle is a very small amount of oats for the babies in

winter. I am very impressed with the farming here.

Lynn,

I used to work as a nurse on a cruise ship (in a past life-or at least many

moons ago when I was young and single). I used to eat curried goat alot at a

restaurant in Jamaica. They had the goats tied up outside! I agree it is good;

can sometimes be a little tough and stringy though.

Depends on how old the goat is and how it's cooked.

Sam,

We just sold our goats a few months ago after no one in our house could

drink the milk anymore, due to allergies (probably due to leaky gut).

They are fun pets, and not hard to care for, but you do need to commit

to milking everyday, rain, shine, hot, cold, at home or on vacation.

Depending on your situation, this can tie you down a lot. We were

lucky to have a neighborhood teenager who liked to milk, and she would

care for them whenever we left town. Our children loved them, and

they are a good wholesome activity for kids, but you need the right set

up for them.

thank you nancy- i hope our children will be able to handle goat milk in the

future, in a

couple years we're going to move out to the country with my dad and we're going

to have

chickens and goats i hope. i have a friend who has goats and she invested in a

milking

machine so her kids could hook up the goats and help milk everyday. i also found

a lady

here in ohio that makes movable chicken coupes that can be moved around your

yard so

the chickens get fresh bugs and help furtalize the yard! this is a silly

question but do you

have to keeping getting the goats pregnant to keep their milk supply? what do

you do the

babies? do you keep them? do you have to do it every year?

thanks

Sam,

We have chickens as well, and they run around our backyard all day.

They are fun to watch and we enjoy them, and, boy, are the eggs good.

Yes, you do need to breed the goats every year to keep a good milk

supply. Some goats will "milk through"(keep milking without being

bred), but you won't get much milk. It's not practical to keep all the

babies as your herd will explode in no time (each mom has 2 babies each

year). Most baby boys end up as meat, most baby girls can be sold as

milkers. When you get serious about goats, order the book "Stories

guide to raising goats" They also have a book on chickens.
