The goat industry is slowing starting to make progress and with more awareness there is promise of it really taking off. It is just as healthy as cow's milk but is easier to digest and better for those with low tolerance to cow's milk or allergies. My oldest daughter has suffered from an allergy to cow's milk ever since she was little. After I switched from breast milk to cow's milk, she became increasingly constipated. It improved some when we brought her down to lower fat content, but her allergies remained all of her life. She was unable to enjoy ice cream, yogurt, or a glass of chocolate milk. I heard about goat's milk recently and brought some home. She had and enjoyed her first glass of chocolate milk without any side effects for the first time ever. Obviously, both she and I are sold. I've heard it also helps with those who suffer from eczima. This same daughter has struggled with eczima since she was a toddler (perhaps another side effects of cow's milk), so we are experimenting and putting her on a goat's milk diet to see if there is any results. Will keep you posted.
So, anyway, we spent some time in the goat's barn at the Royal and even took in a show.
