Raw Goat Milk Vs. Raw Cow Milk

Goat milk would be a really good choice for someone who has trouble with allergies or their digestive system.  I have heard from more than one doctor that goat milk is the best thing to feed a baby, aside from breastmilk.  It actually tastes sweeter than cow’s milk, and is very creamy.

The only real downside I can see about goat milk is that it contains less protein than cow’s milk, so it is slightly less nutritious.  It also tastes rather “goaty” unless it’s very fresh.  Goat milk is more expensive than cow milk because goat dairying is more labor intensive than cow dairying.

If you had to, you could live exclusively from a diet of goat milk, due to its content of the 8 essential amino acids that the human body cannot produce on its own.
