nothing we didn't know already  good to see it 'out there'...

I got fed up of suggesting goats milk,people would rather buy expensive alternatives to milk    Heck this has been known for over a centuary how long does it take people to catch on? Its like "orphaned"this or that...get a goat, but no, they get powdered stuff .

I know! The difference that goats milk has made to the health of my family is amazing and I was really pleased last spring when the lady that runs the sanctuary near us popped by to buy some of our goats milk for an orphaned lamb she had (i gave it to her for free of course) and then the commercial farmer across the road says he'd rather use our milk than powdered too so we are getting there JJ

  , my family are all intolerant of cow milk products but we still use them.....I am not keen on the milk but the bath products and soap are lovely.....

What I get, every time I suggest goats' milk to eczema, psoriasis, sinus sufferers is 'it tastes awful' 

No, it tastes different and you can't tell me soya milk or almond milk doesn't taste awful. Or that having itchy skin and a permanently stuffed up nose isn't awful  Some folk would rather be right than happy!

  People say to me  "Do you milk your goats?"  then "You don't drink it, though?" NO ....I pour it down the sink of course!!!
 
It still amuses me, when I offer people a cup of tea .....they drink it, then ask the inevitable  "Was that goats milk?"  I  ask if they thought so, and they do not know.  If I said it was, before they drank it, they would probably refuse a drink!!!
 
My mum suggested to her friend who had health problems that goats milk may help.  She drank a pint then said it had not "cured" her.  If it was that good, we would all be rolling in money

That word 'cure' is such a nuisance!! the journalist who wrote the most recent article about our soap used it in the title. I went mad!! one customer to a shop I stock actually said "well then, if it doesn't cure me I'll throw it at you!!" to the shopkeeper     
help, alleviate symptoms etc all make much more sense

The reason I keep goats - well, the excuse I used to be able to keeps goats - was  because I have ezcema. About twelve years ago I told my OH that I'd read it might help. He was reluctant because of the cost so I said I would try it for a month and if there was no difference, I'd go back to cows' milk. In two weeks he commented on how much better my skin was. Bearing in mind he is totally blind, he was going purely on the feel of my skin.

Two of my grandsons were weaned from the breast onto goats' milk as they had skin problems. they loved the thought that some of their milk came from Grandma's goat.
