I think from an economic viewpoint, goats are a great milk animal.

Some people don't like the taste of goat milk but I'm not sure what factors go into taste. i.e. Goat or Cow, raw milk or pasteurized, organic, grain fed or grass...

We had a goat share for years and both of our kids drank the raw milk and not only didn't they ever get sick, they don't have a single allergy and suffer colds & flu a lot less than their schoolmates.

I'm sure that's just a coincidence though. ;-)

But it became a "luxury" item and I was the only one who still drank it.
