Watched a very interesting segment of a TV show last night where they were at a State Fair and walking thru the animal barns. The segment focused on one of the goat breeders and those goats that they had.
This was a breed that I had never seen or heard of before but looked it up on the internet later.
Really pretty goats. Milk goats, give lots of milk. They were saying the goats had to be milked twice a day. Now I don't much know about goat milk taste but the claim was this milk was mild in flavor, similar to cows milk without the typical strongness in flavor of most goats milk. Sorry, I am just repeating what they were saying so I don't know from any experience how true or not. The host of the show did drink the milk though and said it was very good.
Like I said, nice looking and calm goats.
Later they had a tasting of the meat from the goats and that was excellent also. Things like this make me wish I had land for a mini farm. I would be getting these goats.
