I have no dairy intolerance. It seems to interfere with weight control.

Consider the breed of goat. It makes a difference in the milk flavor.
Avoid Toggenburgs as the milk is strongest in flavor. Saanen is milder
and they produce a lot due to their size. It's good for goat cheese.
Nubians have the highest butterfat content, but LaMancha (earless) goats
are supposed to have the sweetest milk.

I used to raise goats. Saanan and Nubian.

See above... but a Dexter is not a bad idea either. I've never tried
their milk tho'.
