(22,651 posts)45. I think there will be milk retailers who will sell for much less. Besides, goat butter is delicious.
Competition is good for the dairy industry. People will try less expensive options.
Once people try goat butter, it tastes soooo much better than dairy cow butter..they won't go back.
Goat milk too has much smaller fat gobbles, easier to digest and tastes better than watery cows milk. It is terrific in coffee, The goat milk tastes better than the most expensive dairy cow cream.
The dairy industry will probably still get gov. money for milk sold to public schools and Gov. programs. But I believe with the other milk options out there and the competition they won't raise the price to the point they lose all the sales.
