I saw this on "raw milk" on facebook... and thought I'd share it here. Hope she doesnt mind, it was a neat article!

Nice article, but I did wonder about the "herd of male - billy - goats"? It does mention 15 goats further down but doesnt say 'does'. Dont think a herd of billys would be giving much milk

That's a great article. But ummm...

"Neadow explained that while cow milk is available year-round, goats give milk only in the months after."

That's not true at all. They only require a two month rest, just like a cow. She must have meant that she chooses to only milk her goats a few months after. Some people have even milked goats three years through without rebreeding.

If you keep reading it says they start to produce around Feb. and continue through Dec.

Way to go Liz, now aren't you glad you listened to me.
