My daughter just asked me where the milk was (last night @ dinner) and I told her to go get it - from the cow! We just switched from skim to 1% because it was $0.75 cheaper per gallon.I like the idea of goats milk - gives me added impetus to go home and help Shannon get our suburban house ready to go on the market .... if winter ever ends that is! HA Very cool!! My daughter just asked me where the milk was (last night @ dinner) and I told her to go get it - from the cow!

Goat milk and sheep milk (which we will also be sampling) might be ok to drink without making an inflato-bun. (Colic is a HUGE issue with our babies. Also, the milk from goats, tastes almost identical to the smaller milk producing cows such as Jersey and Geurnsey. It is only sweeter than Holstien milk with predominates the milk industry. Also Jerseys will give 3 - 6 gallons a day. Holstiens will give more. The record for milk production is an average of about 12 gallons per day... A few corrections to my view of this:
