I love goats, already shared that with you! I wonder how people ever got started drinking cow’s milk in the first place? My gpa was a sickly baby and they raised him on mare’s milk. Or so I’m told. :)

Sorry about your gdaughter. :(

Can I tell the version that I just thought up? or the truth of “I don’t know”.

I would tell it like this, in the old days a goat did not have a large bag and only 2 teats.

Someone noticed that a cow had a larger bag and 4 teats and figured there was more profit in the cow’s milk and more pounds of beef for dinner.........
