It has been some time since I’ve tried goat milk, but my recollection was it had a rather gamey taste, that didn’t taste quite so gamey if it was served very cold.
It’s been maybe 30 years, and I recall that back when cow milk was around a dollar a gallon, goat milk cost about the same — per quart.
I have no idea how the price relates today. Haven’t thought about it in a while.
I had heard about the goaty taste and/or smell. Well..again..before we bought them..we read about them. This same author had an article Good Tasting Goat Milk tips

We do what she suggested..strain it in to a glass half gallon jar and stick it in ice. A time or two it didn’t taste quite right..but the girls had doddled getting the milk into the ice bucket. Can’t believe what a difference it made.
The milk from my angoras was very sweet, they only have milk during kidding. Weaned at 3 months....
