It *can* be worth it, though.<br /><br />The goats, in particular, have been expensive for me. The milk is very good, though, if you get Nubians, and give the proper feed (a decent grass hay, and Purina Goat Chow). Don't get fancy and feed high-protein stuff like Timothy. It will give you a "goaty" taste in the milk.<br /><br />B Knotts<br />http://blog.slappy.orgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
