Goat's Milk Update

We learned some valuable information about goat's milk this morning. We were talking to a friend Saturday night. She said that if the milk is very pungent it is being caused from something the goat is eating. We did some reading and learned that's exactly correct! That strong, kick you in the face, over powering taste that we experienced was caused by her eating wild onions & other weeds in our field. The book said that if you're experiencing this to lock her up 2-4 hours before milking.

So we did some experimenting. We tasted straight goats milk from an A.M. milking were she had been locked up over night....IT TASTES JUST LIKE COWS MILK FROM THE GROCERY STORE!!!! Do you know how excited we are?!?!?! We no longer have to buy milk for the Maass household! We're able to drink raw, organic, goat's milk...and we (all of us) actually like it!

We'll let you know if locking her up 2-4 hours prior to her evening milking is as successful as her morning milking.

Now we're planning on planting her a "goat garden" full of stuff she likes to eat that's good for her and hopefully will not alter the taste of her milk.
