Hi patricia

I did the switch to goats milk a year ago after a suggestion from my doctor that I try A2 milk or goats milk ...... I had never thought I had a problem with cows milk but once I stopped having it I find I get problems from even a bit of butter or cheese

goats milk has the A2 type of casein and the A1 type causes allergy for many people ....... jersey cows give A2 milk but most give A1 ( this is not generally known in the USA but there has been quite a bit of discussion here in australia and in some places you can buy A2 milk - I posted some links at braintalk will try and find them again for you )

but back to the goats - we couldnt find anywhere nearby to buy goats milk so we bought a goat now we have 2 does we milk and 2 kids from last year who are having their first birthday today

we make our own soft cheese, kefir, yogurt, butter and even goats milk icecream

and we find goats are wonderful pets as well
