Re: Raw Milk - Goat vs. Cow

I think that debate on the topic is moot as it depends upon too many factors, including one's hereditary adaptations...

Here is what one goat and cow owner wrote in another forum...

>> I've had fresh goat milk from Nubians, Saanans, and Alpines. I've had fresh cow milk from a few different breeds, including some crossbreds. IMHO Nubian milk is by far the best goat milk. Most fresh cow milk is yucky, with one exception - Jersey milk. If you've got a good Jersey (we do) there is no better milk. We finally sold our Nubians recently because we weren't using them. Not trying to start a goat-cow war, just our personal experience." <<

I tend to agree with her. Breed makes a huge difference in taste and digestibility; and that was one of my points... if you ever consider getting your own goats or cows, do your homework.

Most production dairies use "producers" like Holsteins and the milk just does not even come close to comparing to a Jersey.

Once again, in "general", I agree with you that goat is preferred.

If I get goats they will be Nubian (I would want a buck, but that prospect takes some getting used to, and two nannies\does) , if I get a cow or two, they will be Jerseys... unless I change my mind for some very solid reasons.
