A Woman Who Stares At Goats

Here, dear reader, is where I exercise my research abilities - can anyone say "Poli Sci Major" - and google me some goat milk factoids. Read it here, if you dare. But, never the less, I haven't been able to convince Hubs to change our ways and the Lovely Family remains on a strictly cow's milk only diet. Needless to say, my affinity toward the little creatures has grown in the past few months and I went gaga when the City of Coeur d'Alene announced they were going to use goats to clear the weeds around the city wells (where the use of chemicals is strictly prohibited)/ilovecda.com. More here. (Photo: ilovecda.com)

Question: ilovecda.com is trying to talk her husband into switching a family liquid staple from cow's milk to goat's milk. I spent a whole night during my formative years helping my cousin milk goats. Have you ever milked a goat?
