The milk should taste fine......there may not be much of it. Some pygmies produce well and some just produce enough for their kids.

Is it a true and small pygmy? If so have fun trying to get the milk.
My pygmy who gave birth last summer had such tiny little teats. When I went to check that her milk was following it was hard as heck. Plus the doe needs to cooperate which she did not and that made it even harder.
But you can build good hand muscles by milking a pygmy.

Thanks for the help but since they don't give much milk then she will not be worth buying.. I will keep looking. I'm praying that our Nubian is bred..
