RE: Raw Milk and Cow Shares - Cathy

[Guest guest]

Cathy,

 

How do you process goat's milk so that it tastes the same? I'm interested in goat's milk because I want to start making soaps with it but if I'm ever lucky enough to get some land so I can raise my own it would be nice to be able to drink it too. @>~~Tammy~~<@ --- On Fri, 1/29/10, Cathy & Leonard Cox <cathy wrote:

If you leave the babies on the moms and separate at night so you milk in themorning. That is how I do it and I only milk once a day and get 4 gallonsfrom my cow, which is really good! Because they say a jersey will producebetween 3 -5 gallons a day. There is a book called "The Family Cow" andanother one raising the Family Cow and both are really good and lots ofinformation. Goat milk, if processed correctly, will not taste anydifferent than cows. When I had goats I would do the blind taste test foreveryone who came to the farm and almost no one guessed correctly! It wasfun! I had to let the goats go, but do enjoy my Cows! Good luck and let meknow if I can be of any help!Cathy [ ] On Behalf Ofperchie.girlSent: Friday, January 29, 2010 10:13 AM Subject: [RFSL] Raw Milk and Cow SharesI too am a single person who doesnt consume much milk With the exception ofCream for my coffee.

The key is chilling it cold as

soon as possible.  I try to get it to 40 degrees within 30 min.  I use

Stainless Steel buckets and put them in Ice chests with Iced water to cool them

as fast as possible!  Also you can make soap with cows milk, that is what I do.

 

Good luck
