The dairy farms are huge now thousands of cows, along with the other mega farms, chickens and hogs. The products are not as healthy, runoffs damage the land/water, and the animals are not treated decently.
I always use goat butter, it's pure white and tastes better than the most premium cows butter. Goat butter has a lower melting point than cows butter, easy to spread on toast & in baking everything tastes more buttery and smooth. I love a good cup of coffee and that cup is the best /w goats milk.
Good luck with your dairy goats. I hope this Admin. assists more family farms like yours to thrive in your local market. I hope they can remove some of the roadblocks the giant dairy industry has placed in your way.
