Why Goat’s Milk??????

IMG_3149“Goat’s milk has several attributes that cause it to be a far superior choice to cow’s milk. Goat’s milk is less allergenic, naturally homogenized, easier to digest, lactose intolerant friendly, and  biochemically thermodynamically superior to cow’s milk.”  Ok this is taken from a goat milk producing farm, specifically www.mtcapra.com however, I am noticing some of these qualities in the milk we have been receiving from Shasta, our current Nubian milk goat.  The milk has a thin cream layer on top, but otherwise is very smooth naturally and yet thicker than homogenized cow’s milk.  When considering a calf to a kid, it makes sense that the goat’s milk would be better suited for us as kids and goats are similar in weight to people.  In terms of goat’s milk being less allergenic???  The studies report that individuals who were allergic to cow’s milk (rash, swelling etc)  93% of the time were not allergic to goat’s milk.  Also those with lactose issues were able to tolerate goat’s milk better.  This is early in my research process, if you read this and “know” something different let me know.  If you would like to try let us know.  We are selling goat’s milk for $2.50 a quart (minus .50 if you return the jar for refill or recycle).
