We were at the farmer’s market the other day and a lady was selling soap made from goat milk, with herbs, essential oils added. That triggers the kids and us to think about keeping a few goats. There are a couple of advantages:

• goat is smaller and easier to keep than cow
• we can make goat cheese and soap with the milk
• clean the pasture
• purchase price is cheaper than cow
• may be goat meat?

I remember buying goat milk from store and honestly I don’t like it. However, some people claim that fresh goat milk does not have that “goat” taste and is richer and easier to digest than milk. Well I am going to borrow some books from the library and see how this works out. Anybody raised goat before? Let us know.
