Goats don’t stink unless there is a buck around. Our girls never smelled. Bucks stink and are just disgusting. Also having a buck around will taint the smell and taste of the milk. Our milk was delicious, it’s all in what you feed them. They got goat grain when in milk and always 2nd cutting alfalfa year round. When our daughter had friends over I would serve milk in a cows milk jug and they never noticed a difference. Our cheese was the same way. I can’t eat goats cheese in a restaurant or from the store too rank. Just sayin’
Good advice. The guy I used to work with raised goats - and the boss would send him home some days because he smelled so bad, LOL!
If I ever have access to fresh goat’s milk, I’ll let you know. We’re in Cow Country, so there aren’t a lot of dairy goats around.
Caring for the goats was my job every summer as a kid, on my Aunt’s farm. I’m sure that’s a big part of it. My ex never liked me having chickens, but he had 200 to care for as a kid.
