Personally I love my diary goats and man can they produce. I use to hate the idea of it and of course the smell and taste of it ( milk)

Now even with fresh cows milk we love our goats milk and prefer it now that I know the secrets to great goats milk.

Just thought Id let u know!!!!!!!

I like goats milk just fine and a goat probably is more practical but they are hard to keep penned in. Putting up hogwire fence to keep a goat when I keep a cow or two instead does not appeal to me. But in time, who knows?

Goats also hate rain and whinge like crazy when it rains.

Thank you for your advice. I saw that Cheryl talking about it in another thread. I understand it's very laborious and that the standards to make cheese for sale are very strict. I've found someone in the area who can help me if I end up purchasing some milch cows.

Tele,

Here are a few sites to help you along. Hope they're of some help.

Oh, yes cheese is labor intensive. And if you live in a cooler climate,
it's easier to make cheese in the warmer months, it's easier to keep the temperature of the milk/curds constant between 80 and 90 degrees. If you try making cheese in the cooler months, try using heating pads. Yes, it sounds funny, but it works.
