i raised dairy goats for years and the way i do it no one has ever been able to tell the difference between goat/cows milk. a few secrets are the buck/billie needs to be away from the does except when breeding. never keep them together, another thing is clear the land, like a regular dairy farm does, of wild onions and persimmons. give them sweet feed during milking and occasionally as regular feed. when milking close the thumb and index finger at the upper part of the teat and gently start closing the other fingers starting at the top and moving down. don't yank or pull. it's a closing process. hope this helps. and warm goats milk is as good or better than cows milk warm. the billie/buck will leave a taint and after taste.
hopechannelcat I really appreciate the help. I am definitely a novice at this. Lol
@@SawyerRidgeFarm Weed em Reep have milking goats you might want to get in touch with. Oh by the way I love goat milk 😍
What do persimmons do to the milk? I'd think persimmons would sweeten it.
@@Matt-ty6hp when persimmons are green cattle and goats will still eat them and it will dry up their milk. if you have kids on their mother and she eats green persimmons she will stop producing milk. most dairy farmer will tell you if asked. their are a few other plants that causes problems, but i'm not sure what they are.
hopechannelcat, thank you! I’m gonna need to know that! We’re looking at some Nigerians!
Blue Cactus dairy is the place to check for answers. She is very experienced on milking goats.
Thank you Virginia
Yes crystal is amazing. Great channel..
Virginia Alexander agreed! She makes cheese out of it too 🧀
And soap
Talk to a channel called 'Weed'em and Reap' they milk their goats daily
Bonni-sue Huntley thank you!
@@SawyerRidgeFarm , yeah, they do usually, but most are kidding right now.
Jacob: “I could drink this right now the way it is...” ---Alex: “Nope. Maybe if the stores ran out of milk.” 😂 Good stuff guys!
Adler Farms 😂😂😂
Adler Farms haha! 😂😄 In dire situations, it’d be a delicacy. Lol
@@SawyerRidgeFarm - Time to break out the Nestles Quik!
Now all you need is some ORGANIC OREO Cookies😋🤗🤔🐐👍🏼
It tastes "goatie"
You need to wait until the colostrum has cleared through the does system... babies are still young.
Janet Harrison yes, maybe that’s why it was a little off. It’s not bad, just a different after taste.
My Dad used to milk our goats when growing up. I remember it having a sweet taste. When we didn’t have milk to drink Mom would open a can of pet milk and dilute it with water. That’s what we would put on our cereal. I really didn’t like the taste of pet milk but I used it anyhow. Enjoyed the video! Be safe out there!
Goat's milk was a life saver for our family. My youngest daughter was allergic to cow's milk and all of the formula on the market at that time (25 years ago) so Dr. Pummill in Kansas, Ok recommended we put her on goat's milk. He found us a Mennonite lady who raised and milked her goats, and she provided us milk. It was wonderful for our daughter. She loved it and had none of the reactions that she had on cow's milk. You could provide a needed service for a family like ours. I know you are not far from Little Kansas so that could provide you a person to ask for help in feeding your goats so you could milk them and it taste right. Just an idea...
Vicky that is really cool how goats milk did that for your family and daughter.
My brother was born preemie in 1969 and he had to use goats milk. Easier to digest
We lived next to milking farm that milked cows in the big milk barn and milked goats in a small barn for the goats. My brother had C.P. and couldn't handle the cow's milk so we'd have goat's milk which we also made into cheese!
I got very sick when I moved into a house that had a mold problem and didn't know it. I found a woman who was keeping goats because her kids had allergies and bought the raw milk from her for a couple of years. It helped me so much.
Now I buy it from the store and it's not as good but I'm glad to get it.
I'd never go back to cow's milk.
Love goat milk! Needs to be really cold though!
The Crockers yes!! Even with it being in the fridge overnight, I don’t think mine was cold enough. I like super cold milk!
Living Traditions Homestead have milk goats. They could let you know anything you need to know. When my Dad was alive. He loved ice cold goats milk.
I was crackin up at Alex face lol. Jacob was a champion he just swallowed it down lmbo
yolanda I'm great Lol 😂
My fave is Sarah at Living traditions homestead, has a good recipe for goat cheese, and that stuff is expensive in the stores.
curiousgrandpa I think I’ve seen that video. We watch LTH on a regular basis! Good people! 😄👍
I just love watching you kids. You have such a humbling attitude. My kind of kids, sending love and prayers to you. You kids have a blessed day.♥️
Debbie Cline thank you so much! 😊
I had dairy goats for years. If fed a dairy ration grain plus grass/hay, you’ll have a pre-homogenized milk that’s easier to to digest than cow milk. It’s the healthiest drink ever. You can also make cheese, goat milk fudge, etc. GREAT PROTEIN & VITAMIN D. ENJOY 😘
Forgive me, I absolutely love to teach and dairy goats has been a subject I havd experience with in the past. I would love to talk to you young folks sometime.!i live in Locust Grove, out here near the old Sams Corner.
I will send you all an email and maybe we.can talk about goats and maybe everything home steadying.
Have you ever looked at Living Traditions Homestead, Sarah and Kevin had goats in the past that they miked daily and seem to be very knowledgeable. They recently got rid of the goats because they got a dairy cow that supplies all the milk they need.
Check out Weed’em and Reap. They milk goat’s on their one acre property.
😂😂😂 Ranger and I are cracking up. He says “add some sugar.” That fixes everything right?? LOL looks like Jacob is a fan 👍🏻 Now we need a goat so we can try some 😉
Walker Farm Fam haha! Sugar fixes everything. 😄
It’s different, but not a bad different. I think Jacob would drink it everyday. Lol
Yum. Goats milk is GREAT. Goats milk is good the quicker ya drink. The older it is it gets a Taste.
From Sawyer ridge farm
Lol... You could add flavorin to it.. Keep testing an have fun while you do it.. The babby goats will luv you for it 😊👍👍
Alex-the look on your face is funny. You are trying so hard to like it...lol
We buy goats milk and cheese from our local natural food store as it is easier to digest. We use it in recipes that calls for cows milk. We have nothing against cows milk other than the digestive issues we have. Tastes great too.
They say goat’s milk is better for you than cow’s milk. You can make some goat milk fudge now! Nothing better than getting honest answer! The look on your faces were priceless!
The first time I tried goats milk I had the same reaction you both had. I love raw and store cow milk and refused to drink my goats' milk for years. Then I started raising Nigerian Dwarf goats and ran out of milk one night. I was milking and bottle feeding some babies and decided to taste the milk. It was delicious and tasted just like cows milk. I don't feed anything special and they free range all day. I only give about 3/4 of a cup of sweet stock feed mixed with 1/4 cup of rabbit pellets when milking. I have 2 billies that run with my herd year-round and there is no difference in the taste of the milk. Now I'm milking for me and sell those babies as fast as I can. lol
My granny used to boiled goat milk. 🥛🐐👍
Thank you 4 your honesty, but, people are still unaware of the healthy benefits of the Goat's milk. Thank you 4 the video . Peace with you :-)
Jacob drank all of his 🤣 great video thanks for sharing yall ❤
I think Jess at Roots and Refuge says for a new Miller she takes several days of putting her goat in the station and giving her grain to eat while she cleans her bag and just touching her so she gets acustomed to being handled before she actually milks. Good luck!
Carolyn Fulton that’s a great idea!
Hi. Guys
We raised the boys on goats milk there stomachs couldnt digest formula
Goats milk is usually sweet but make sure after they had babies the colustrum is gone you can buy a tester to drop drops into the milk to test it
Ole farmers say its better for you than cows milk
Its suppose to help put good bacteria in your stomach to fight off the bad
We love it ourselves
Love ya guys from missouri
God bless
Patty Price thanks for the tips! 👍
I grew up milking a cow, every day, its easy and we strained and pasteurized it. We made cheese, and ice cream! And lots of chocolate milk!
jeanette c all three of those sound good! 😊
You are right . goat milk picks the flavor of what they eat . its best to find a good alfalfa hay to feed with sweet feed . plus the minerals they need . keep their pens very clean and keep them away from the buck as long as you are milking .
I remember growing up we would get fresh cows milk from a farmer. It was still warm and separating. I would drink it straight from the jug as soon as I got in the truck. Wish I could still find it like that.
RoVin Russ oh man... I don’t know if I could drink it warm. 😬 Lol
Good morning. You could make cheese with it if you don't want to drink the milk. Have a wonderful blessed day 🙂
Hi folks, will watch regularly from now on. You were such wonderful friends to him while building his little tiny home... the best to all.🐐🐾🇨🇦
Hello,Its your city girl from Indiana..You guys are to much for as being cute ..Oh I bet its rich and would make a rich Chess pie !! I wonder could you make fresh butter with it ? You 2 are Cute ..Thank you .This takes my mind off this Covid dilemma .And I need this change .God Bless you guys ..🤗🤗😊💛💚💙
Janet Harrison is right. I watch another Dairy Goat site and they wait about two weeks before drinking any of the goat milk because of the colostrum. I have never tried goat milk before. Nice stanchion. Love the trying the milk. You made me laugh. Have a great day.
Rowdy I was thinking the same. I didn't know how long the colostrum stayed in the milk.
@@SawyerRidgeFarm You might check out Blue Cactus Dairy Goats. This youtuber raises Dairy show goats and has been making cheese and soap from her goats milk. Look her up and if I remember right I think she is part of a dairy goat association.
Use the cream for your coffee.
Thanks for sharing.
God bless you both and keep you safe and healthy.
I never separate the buck from the does and my goat milk tastes great. It has to set in the refrigerator 3 days to get cream off of it.
Watch weedem and reap for milking lesson. There are many on the internet. ;-)
Check out Blue Cactus Dairy Goats. Crystal is very knowledgeable with milking goats. Yes they have dairy goats but it might help. I do not remember her feeding her goats anything special. She will also message the utters to get the milk flowing better if she needs to. I have never tried raw goats milk but when I was a kid my friend lived on a dairy farm and we would drink the raw cow's milk and it was so much better than store bought. We always need to try new things.
You can make caramel, ice cream, butter, soap so many things. But I always thought is was a little slimy. I milked 34 head in my younger days!!!
First time I ever had goat milk was in 1962, my uncle raised them. Was a little different from cow's milk but I enjoyed the taste and wanted another sample. Brings back so many memories. Thanks.
It is different from cows milk for sure. But still good like you said.
I love goat’s milk. It’s rich and smooth and spicey.
Al Lumnah feeds his goats sunflower seeds, alfalfa pellets, tree bark and hay. Plus he puts a splash of apple cider vinegar in their drinking water.
Oh exciting... Cream cheese and butter right there...
Check out Homesteady. They just got a milking camel and her baby...because of food allergies in their baby. So far it seems to be working for them...and those camels are so cool...especially the baby Solomon 😍
After cleaning the teat, be sure to give it a squirt on the "ground" as the first squirt may contain bacteria, then you can milk the goat out. I don't like goats milk, so I'm glad you like it.
Joyce T that’s something I totally forgot to do. Thank you for the tip! 👍😀
I have it paused at 8 minutes 1 second, right before you are going to put it in the fridge. My ex husband and I had taken in a homeless family and the mother was lactose intolerant she had to have goats milk. I tried some we got her from an Amish family and it was a lot sweeter than cow's milk. It wasn't bad at all.
Nigerian Dwarf Goat milk is EXCELLENT....high butterfat content compared to other breeds.
I absolutely love drinking raw goat milk. So miss it. Moved away from the person with goats
Welcome to goats milk!! If you were drinking 2% cows milk this will taste different. We just started drinking raw goat milk. We LOVE it. So many healthy components to it. 2 days ago I made my first goat cheese!! Took half hour and even though it was my first try we like it too. At 4 bucks a gallon for milk, cheese is high and butter insane. All this plus ice cream can come from your goat milk. I also feed any excess milk to my chickens! They gobble it right up...
Weed 'em & reep. They have their kids milk their goats as part of the morning chores. You may want to watch some of their older videos because they've let their goats dry up because they will be giving birth soon.
We feed orchard grass hay and alfalfa and a dairy grain twice a day. They aloso go out on pasture during the day. We save morning milk before they've been out eating weeds and grass. It tastes better. I give evening milk to pigs and other animals. I have favorite goats to save milk from. Some goats have better tasting milk, some goat's milk stay good longer in the fridge.
You psyched yourselves out before you tried the milk. Might have to wait till Babies are older and have gotten all Colestrum(can't spell this morning lol) out. Try again later. Peace Be With You Both ☮️
Also check how wholesome roots. Rose has a large herd of milking goats. along with like others suggested weed em and reap & blue cactus.
Hello friends, I enjoy your videos.
My grand father drank goat milk for breakfast every mourning for 30 yr's, due to stomach problems. Now he was set up for a dairy goat and I'm sure they were on a dairy feed.I drank it every mourning , when I spent 2 weeks there every summer. I liked it.
Hey not PROCESSED still has all the good stuff/ Congrats. What did the Old Old homesteaders do?
Have never tried goats milk but do like goat cheese. This was fun to watch as the looks on y'all faces. Take care and thanks.
Alex:......... “okay........” 😂😂😂 speechless
Haha! I wasn’t sure what to think. 😄
My great Aunt had a goat she gave me a taste over gout milk and 2% milk and I couldn't tell the difference. Not sure it could have been whole milk. I liked it
Cheese making is kind of an art where you can make it better make it good but A lot of goat cheese tastes amazing and it’s great for stuff like pizzas or where you want a soft cheese. People pay a lot for it too. ;)
I'm lactose intolerant, but I can drink goat milk without issues. Store bought goat milk for me taste just fine, the only thing I've noticed is the slight extra thickness, which I don't have a problem with.
Oh that new milk experience. I am enjoying your response to the drinking taste test. Alex had the first time of milking the goat 🐐 and drinking milk that isn't store bought. This was a great video. God bless you 🙏
You guys are so funny! When our children were young we bought raw cows milk from a farmer and when spring came and the cows went out into the fields to eat ,I could not drink the milk because the green grass made it taste off. I get what you are talking about when you say that what a goat eats can affect the taste of her milk . I love goat cheese with dried cranberries on it. I buy it at Wegmans all of the time.Watch Weed em and Reap on you tube and you will find out what goats should eat for good milk.
Kikos are actually a crossbreed of feral goats from NZ and dairy goats (nubian, saanen, and toggenburg) so they do have dairy goat genetics in their ancestry though it appears in certain does more than others
Actually better for you, than cows milk. Can make feta cheese. Keep your minds open. Reep & Weed is good channel. Use to get Goats milk in Alaska to make Yogurt seen some so watered down but still miss it, learned from a old man how to prepare the yogurt was good. Good luck
I have never had goat's milk. So I can't say. I say Y'all are brave to try it. You both stay well and safe. God Bless Y'all.
Great job with the taste testing. For some tips on milking goats get with Al from Lumnah Acres or Sarah from Family Living Traditions . Come to think of it. Sarah and Kevin are getting rid of their milk goats and going straight cow milk, but they make be getting rid of their homemade milking system for goats. . 👍
Check out Weed ‘em & reap on YT they have a lot of goat knowledge
The Provost family thank you!
Our family had a Dairy goat when we were little. My nephew couldn't drink regular milk so he had to drink goat milk.
I’ve commented before on Arms Family’s channel on how big their Kiko’s udders are and that they look like they could be milked... your doe looked like she did pretty good. With a little more work, she might make a good milking goat.. If you’ve never drunk raw milk, THAT is likely what is what you’re discerning.. Raw milk is kinda like a thin milkshake. From my understanding, you keep your milking does away from the bucks in a small pen that you can easily capture them in, put the babies up at night, milk in the morning ( feed as you milk), then turn her babies back out with her during the day and then put them up again at night to repeat the process the next day..
Leslie I agree a little more work with her and she will do good.
I love my goat milk and no special diet. I do give alfalfa pellets, or sweet feed to the regular all purpose feed, and corn. Then release the babies with her to go to the field/woods. I only filter it once through a coffee filter screen or a handkerchief. I also use handkerchiefs for my cheeses.
Enjoy learning how to Homestead. Just squeeze the teats don't pull. ;-)
Thank you so much for the great tips! 😊
Well I'm glad you found a back up supply for milk. Maybe now find a better diet for her and then see how it goes. Wish you the best. I have never dealt with goats wish you luck.
Theresa Davis thank you! 😊
I love goats milk. I use to make kiefr, goat cheese yogurt ♥️and goat milk soap
Drink all your milk!! ❤️❤️
Much easier to digest, taste good also.
I liked this video it was very interesting. I’ve never had goats milk. ✌️♥️
You 2 a too cute! Thank you for making videos during this time. You warm my heart and lighten life a bit. I laughed so hard when you were anticipating the taste test. For me? I will stick to nut milks.
Were so happy Kate that our videos can bring you some relief in these times.
Lol, you guys are so funny.
I would have added about 4 oz of rum to it /// Yummy stay safe you guys
Jacob likes it, he drank all his
I would check out "Weed em & Reap" channel, as they milk theirs daily, except for now because they are pregnant. But DaNelle does fix a concoction of organic supplements, and you might be able to find where she tells what they feed them
Wow the sky in the background at your intro looks like a painting! Beautiful!
Mrs. Hidden Heights Farm I noticed that too when I was editing. It was beautiful that day! 😊❤️
i like it cold from the fridge but not right from the goat lol ......... its a earthy taste like with beers boiled then eat one earthy hugsssss
i love raw cow 's milk it is so good but now they stoped it now no raw milk to me it is the better kind of milk God bless u both
We would feed grain with some minerals and dryed mollases.then put it in the freezer pre chilled bowl
Good for you for trying the milk. If the milk is good, pasture would probably be fine. That's my guess anyhow.
It has a earthly taste
i Live in Chester Co & Lancaster Co Pa were we have a LOT on Amish and 70 % are farmers and they all drink Raw Cow Milk and they sell a lot of it to Land O Lakes and More
I have never seen two more apprehensive people in my life!! You two REALLY don’t want to try this milk, do you? Hahahahaha!!!!
Makes GREAT ice cream !
We do not have goats at this time, but we are looking forward to getting some dairy goats in the bear future. My understanding is to keep them away from the make goat while milking of he will make her milk have an off taste. I used to buy goats milk off of a Nubian goat farm, I love the taste and texture of it. Y’all keep putting out the great videos.
Yes folks, store brought milk goes through a much more processing procedure than a lot of people realise, they do this to in order to produce a constantcy right accross the board, as milk from different breeds of cow vary so much. It sounds to me by what you said that you would get used to the different taste very quickly.😊😊😊
Put a little bit of vanilla in it that would take care of the aftertaste. But be warned it will taste like vanilla ice cream
The look on Alex's face was classic! Made me laugh. God bless❤❤❤
Laura Schindler haha! 😂
I just started this year with dairy goats (complete newbie) . I have two Nubians. My kids don't care to drink it straight but put it in smoothies and such. I on the other hand, love it. I think it is the cream I like. I was raised a city kid so this life is completely new but I love it. We use sweet feed and alfalfa. Not sure if we are doing the best but it only takes me 10‐15 min and I get about 1/2 gallon every day (Sharing with the baby)They are super sweet girls and follow me like puppies. I really got them to make cheese but I haven't got it done yet.
Yep Lumna Acres
Jacob was a good hobbler, lol...I used to buy goats milk from a friend, I thought it was delicious...my husband not so much...but we’re considering to get some...how time changes things😁😁you two are so cute❤️❤️❤️in hard times you would drink it, lol...keep drinking it you’ll be hooked👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻love you...blessings 🥰❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
We will definitely be trying it more for sure.
Sawyer Ridge Farm...GREAT, why not since you have the goats🥰🙏🏻❤️😇👍🏻👍🏻
Lol...love the goat milk review!
I can’t wait to try goats milk for the first time. I think it will be at the Stivers HomesteD.
