Red face Milking Fainting Goats?

We are interested in getting fainting goats, and we also just lost our source for raw cow milk. I'm wondering, since we are planning on getting goats anyway, has anyone had a fainting goat that they milked and were happy with the milk?
We are experts on chickens but know nothing about goats.
Thanks.

I'd never heard of anyone milking fainting goats, but according to http://www.bsbarnfaintingfarm.com/..."Fainters are considered a meat goat and their milk can make some wonderful cheeses."

Of course, because they are not usually bred as dairy goats you may not get large quantities for long spans of time. But you could always try it.
