I have, the g/f loves the stuff

I'm a little ambivalent myself... I can eat it no problem, but it
doesn't exactly excite me either.

I seem to be very fortunate, no diary intolerances that I know
about... which is a good thing, considering how much dairy I consume
daily.

>Ever considered goats?

I have two miniatures already

But yeah... I have considered getting a goat for diary. And I /do/
like goat milk very much - but NOT in my coffee, for example. And
anything compromising my coffee is NOT negotiable!

Admittedly, goats milk can vary quite a bit in taste. With some it's
quite neutral in flavour, in others it's really goaty! Even so, I have
thought aboutl getting a diary goat to practise on until I'm ready to
have a Dexter cow here - once the pasture has been improved.
