Withdrawal milk ok for soap making?

I have a doe who is making 1/2 gallon per day, even this late in her lactation. I dosed her with dewormer, anticipating that she will be bred soon. Is it safe to use the milk, that would normally be discarded during the withdrawal period, for soap making?

I can't imagine that the " residue" from wormer would effect the milk in an adverse way for soaping...but I've never done it personally.

Yes, Alice that milk will be just fine for soap making. Freeze it in Ziplock bags & use for soap.

I discarded for 24 hours, and now I'm packaging it in 16 oz units for her. Thanks!
