I keep thinking about this. We used to keep goats for dairy and I did love them so much. But we prefer cow milk and allll of the cheeses and ferments, not to mention the opportunity to raise a beef cow. My hang up is the amount of milk we would get in a day! We go through in a week what I might get in a single day milking. What do you do with your unused/extra milk? Do you have waste? Raise pigs on it? Or do you only milk once a day and let the calf have the rest? Questions, questions...
