Raw goats milk is excellent
I'm not an expert by any means, but putting the milk into ice water, doesn't "remove" or 'prevent' it from having a 'goaty' taste. It is to drop the temperature of the milk down to 40* quickly. Its also a "requirement' in order to sell it in most states. You can also put your stainless steel pot into a bucket of ice when your out milking so it cools immediately while your milking your goat(s), you can also put your container directly into the freezer to do the same. The "goaty" taste comes from the foods they eat, whether you have a buck in with your Doe's & how their teats are washed (what's on your hands).
But "normally" there is no "off taste" to their milk whether you chill your milk immediately or not. UNLESS some of the above mentioned has happened (they eat strong smelling weeds, such as sage brush, mustard weeds, etc. or if they are in with a buck). If they eat sweet feed, such as rolled grain with molasses, alfalfa, sweet grass, etc. then it'll have a sweeter taste. But generally Goat's milk won't taste much, if any different then a cow's milk (store bought or fresh).
This is just based on my experience (& the cooling of milk is from a State Rep from when i was looking to get qualified to sell Raw milk). For my families own use, I just filtered the milk & put it into the fridge.
I like the notch cut out of the lid, put a colander of some kind in that somehow with some sort of a filter, then it could be pre-filtered while your milking.
Some good ideas you guys have for sure.
Same. I just pour into jar, and into the fridge. Tastes great
You are right. Healthy does, Healthy pasture, great milk.
It's nice to see how other folks filter their goat milk! Thanks for sharing.
Love when Christa stars in the videos, that looks like an easy way to do it.
Love what you did with the pot to make it a milk pail! Great idea!
I love that we see more Christa video content! You two are such a joy to watch and laugh with and learn from. (My English teacher would not approve of that sentence.) Thank you for all the hard work you offer to help make the Internet a better place.
She did such a great job! Loved it. Lots of great info. Thanks for sharing!
very informative! Christa, you did a great job!
I think if you put some salt in the ice water it would speed up the chillng process a good bit.
You have once again proved the necessity is the mother of invention. Way to go Big Family Homestead.
+David Smith Thank you David, 100% Moms idea on that one
Thank you for your videos..i love how you arent pretentious and make do with what you got ..thank you so much
Absolutely agree with all your steps; quick chilling is important with any milk. On the dairy we clipped udders every week or so; made for cleaner milking.
Love you folks! I hope you continue to see all of Gods blessings.
NEVER FORGET THE OLD WAYS! Thank you two so much for sharing this
I'm so glad this channel exists.
Thanks for these great videos on goat milking! Our Goat vet just did an annual exam and vaccine of our two does and little Nigerian Billy. Got an all heathy clearance. No TB or brucilleosis (spelling ?) etc. So we are good to go. We will wait until Nov now so they will kid in the warmer spring months !! Really appreciate these vids.
My goat is hungry i dont know wat to feed him
Hey guys thanks so much for the video! We're just starting to milk our girls and this helped SOO much!
Thank you for this. I'm planning on getting goats soon and I'm trying to learn everything I can about them.
+The Nelson Homestead They are great fun as well as being very productive :)
thank you Christa you did and awesome job
Making the milking pot would make a nice video.
Thanks for the goat milk processing tutorial.
Just noticed Sesame St canisters! Way 😎 cool.
Loved the video. Loved the Muppet canisters even more!
Smart thinking Christa!
+Nifty Thrifty Bits She rocks...
I like zipple 🤣🤣🤣!
I ❤ 🐐🥛
So glad I saw this video. Finding filters has been a nightmare! So much so, I put a rush on making a milking machine to achieve a closed system to milk.
All the things you listed, I have in hand reusable (mesh) coffee filter and paper ones; so that's a relief!
I love it!!! you guys are so cute and I love the goat tooo!!!!
Thanks for an easy tutorial! Another one I'm tucking away for when we get our goats. What breed of goats do y'all raise again?
You are awesome ! Thank you for sharing this! I have allergy issues and colitis and I cannot drink or eat dairy with youth stomach issues! I am hoping I can make goats milk work for me!
Christa i raised goats for a long time and i love the filter system you use.I fell prey to the fancy filter system. And they were expensive wish i had seen this earlier thanks.
+Deep South Homestead Thank you for the comment
you all have an great life on your homestead
That's very interesting, Thank you for sharing
Thank you, very useful.
You can drink it raw and should as there are good nutrients in the milk when raw. But you can also warm your milk before you strain it out or filter it out and this makes it taste better like store bought milk before you chill it.
well done! :) great information.
Christa, well bless your heart, honey....bless your heart. He must be a riot to live with. :)
excellent ..good info
thanks Brad and krista
On our Homestead we have 2 dairy cows. Rosalie is an almost 4 year old Brown swiss cross who is due to calve her 3rd in March (right before her birthday!) and Anouk (Ah Noo k) is a almost 3 year old Brown Swiss Cross who had her first Calf just this past October. Now currently only Anouk is in milk, as we let our pregnant cows rest for about 4 months before she calves. We were hand milking our cows but recently purchased a milking machine, since Anouk did not take to being hand milked well. (she will stand for you while you hand milk but she's very impatient and tends to start acting up after about 15 minutes) So now we can do 1 cow in 5 minutes.. which works well for us. Everything is sterilized after every use, with a vinegar solution, and then once a week is bleached well (its the only way I've found to get everything extremely clean, if you have a suggestion on not using bleach I'm all for it) Once milked, the cows are let out of our milking barn, the milkn is transferred to a stainless steel bucket for the quick trip to the house. This is when we wash out the machine and holding container. after that is done, up to the house we go where we filter the 2 gallons we got and into the fridge it goes. Cow's milk is different than goats only in the smell I've found (well and the fat molecules) so we don't need to immediately cool it down, like Christa does in the video. we also do not pasturize our milk. I've made Yogurt, cheese, ice cream with our milk. Thanks for the quick Tutorial on how you filter your milk! It's basically exactly how we do ours!
+Candice Robertson GREAT info, thanks for sharing Candice!
AWESOME video by the way what kind of goats do y'all have and if the milk stays in the fridge any amount of time does it affect the taste?
Do you happen to have a suggestion as to where you buy bulk food like beans and nuts and such..preferably online??
Would this be necessary if you didn’t plan on drinking it? (I want to make soaps, lotions ect.)
What temperature do you bring the milk down to?!
How do you sterilize the glass jar? Boil?
LOL goof ball is right ! love it . Krista are you saying your not a goat milkaoligest ? LOL didnt know about the 45 min cooling thing, thanks Ya'll
Thanks for this video new subscribers @Bailey Hills Farm
I am so glad you did this video, I asked how long it takes Krista to milk the goats everyday a few months ago and you guys responded that the milking is basically quick and the pre-cleaning of the lady takes some time. Can we get a video of Krista's cleaning prep too. It would be greatly appreciated. -Dana Lee
+DirtyDirtFarm Homestead We do have a video on that- its in our "goats" playlist. It only takes her about 10 minutes per milking start to finish (twice a day), but we are milking only one right now- and she gives about a half gallon per day.
+Big Family Homestead OK ty
hi i,m wanting to buy milk goats and i,m very happy to watch your video. thank you for shering
+home away from home Queensland Australia Thank you very much!
Your wife did a great job....I believe she deserves a new critter. :)
+ThePUMPKIN2113 Baahhhh... no new critters till we get a bigger homestead ;)
How long can it stay in freezer
If making sour cream should you still do this?
That was neat :)
Nice
Brad cut metal????? Excellent! Christa rocks!
+fannygitchyurgun spiritwind With my lazer vision!
Great job ... bucket looks just like one I paid too much for! I now understand that Christa is, in fact, Wonder Woman because hubby is a superhero with a weakness for squirrels!
HA!
I finally got in here, It's been so long =D
you can drink the milk right from the goat ;)
I love this channel so much becouse i just got dairy goat named candy ☺
Badeandenx xplayer you can but its pretty nasty thou 😝🤢
I love it straight from the goat!
Yeah that’s how you get parasites
mmmm, parasites are a GI tract thing. Wash your goats udder before you milk and it helps considerably. Can raw milk grow bacteria? Yes. When you are done milking you want to cool it promptly and wash all your stainless utensils in original Dawn dish detergent and a small amount of bleach. We've lived on raw milk for about 3 years now.
I just made Chevre cheese!
Hey guys, thanks for the video. I've got a couple of questions though;
1. When you say sterilize, what do you use as a sterilizing solution for i) the teats, ii) the milk bucket, iii) the glass jar/strainer/funnel?
2. How long can you keep the milk once it's prepared as shown?
Thanks :)
We sterilize everything. Bad bacteria are the enemies and keeping the area clean will increase the longevity of the milk. We pasteurize at 161 deg F for 15 seconds-not because we fear bad milk, but rather our daughter would pull our grandparents' license if we did not. I can tell you from drinking both the flavor is about the same. But don't take my word for it try it yourself.
That said there has been a lot of discussion on pasteurization. My son-in-law's grandparents drank raw cow's milk almost every day of their lives without ever getting sick. What some people have proffered, and I have NOT seen experimental data to confirm or refute evidence, is that if animals are kept healthy and grass-fed they are considerably less prone to milk pathogens. Pasteurization to these folks was the trend of primarily feeding grain to dairy herds and this changed the chemistry in the dairy animal's digestion allowing for more of these pathogens. True??? Just do not know, and the flavor differnce of conventional pasteurization seems so small and does not interfere with cheese production (the really high temp pasteuriztion is different) and gives peace of mind to our daughters we do not mind that extra step. You may also want to check on legality of raw milk in your state as they differ from state-to-state.
Raw milk is good 7-14 days. Use your nose you can tell.
One other option you have is to make Farmer's Cheese which is super easy to make and you need only two additives (apple cider vinegar and lemon juice) plus a cheese cloth and in about an hour you can have farmer's cheese. One of the beautities of Farmer's Cheese is that if you start from raw milk several varieties use enough heat to pasteurize the cheese naturally. THAT CHEESE KEEPS FOR A MONTH. Google it on RUclips, we use the method described by Blue Cactus Dairy.
You can make it with whole cow milk, but it really lends itself to goat milk.
Part II we do not ice bath our raw milk, but we do refrigerate it. Twice a week we pasteurize our goat milk.
The only thing we found wrong with goat's milk is the name. Healthy does, healthy pasture yields great milk. Latest price I have seen for goat milk $9 per 1/2 gallon!
She uses soapy water for the teats
@@Ya-boy-BoM ☺️ thanks
very cool! Do you also make cheese? Would like to see a video.
+Rob Boone We do, there is a video on out food / recipe playlist ;)
by the way, you two are a lovely couple
Hi. Does it remove smell from milk ? Anybody tried it?
Do you test your goats before drinking the raw milk I’ve got different answers on this question. The lady I bought my goats from doesn’t but I hear your suppose to I’m Leary of all these tests but I’ve got kids and I want to be safe. I’m new to all this I have 5 adults Nigerian and 5 babies there registered I haven’t registered the babies yet. I learned something new I didn’t know from you about ice after milking didn’t know that. Thanks
Depends on state law, and any state can be different. We pasteurize because we do not want out grandparent's license pulled by our daughters. They all love the goat milk pasteurized, I have tasted both raw and pasteurized and it pretty much tastes the same.
We have been drink raw goats milk for 50 years. It’s fine to drink
why do you choose to not pasteurize?
I thought I remembered Brad saying you guys didn't end up liking the taste of goats milk. has it grown on you, or is the "chilling your milk quick" something you found that improves the taste? I love the phrase "goaty milk" BTW. I've never tried it, and yet I can imagine it none-the-less.
+Cameron Cooling helps, but later when I burp it it tastes, err, like goat. An acquired taste I guess, my pallet is clearly not that developed.
I wish they had included the types of goats they were milking. Different breeds have different butterfat levels and that can have a huge impact on flavor. We had some goat milk that was like a goat skim milk and no one liked it. But I suspected it was much lower in butterfat (cream). I suspect the factory filters off this cream for cheese, butter, yogurt and such and sell off the more normal milk for general consumption.
We we started milking our Nubian does we were quite surprised by the great flavor of the raw milk. We started pasteurizing it, and noticed very little difference in taste from the raw that the does were producing, and even pasteurize taste way better than the commercial goat milk we tried.
So intriguing. Goat milk is expensive around here but we have lactose issues in this house hold. :/
You will be surprised how light goat milk is on the body. It's one of the most nutrient dense foods on the planet. Do more research
Our grandson is lactose intolerant too. He loves the goat milk, and is now drinking (pasteurized) it daily. We make Framer's Cheese with it (very simple and great on pizza). You may want to try milk from different types of goats. Remember the Nigerian Dwarfs have the highest butterfat which is great for creams, cheeses, and butter production.
Hey guys I’m new to milking I had to unexpectedly put down my does kid due to a deformity and now I gotta milk her a month earlier than expected. Can I mix the milk from the morning milking and the evening milking together? Can I mix the milk from two different does? I have alpines.
Yes, mixing is not an issue. Just don't let the milk get mixed up with days old and older milk...
Big Family Homestead ok thanks I appreciate it
I always wondered if goats milk taste like cows milk? Great video.
+Little D IF fresh and got cooled properly it tastes similar. IF its not and did not get cooled fast enough it tastes like a smelly goat.
We have only put our Nubians goat milk in the fridge after milking and it tastes just fine, never goaty. It tastes somewhat like cow's milk only better. Handle the milk properly, good pasture, keep the goats healthy and happy you will have good milk.
After milking for 3 months, I think the biggest problem with goat milk is its name "goat" milk.
@@Bigfamilyhomestead thank you 😊
@@katrinaanon1038 thank you 😊
How long are supposed to boil the milk before you strain it?
We pre strain our milk, heat it to 161 degrees F for 15 seconds, cool it 68 degrees in an ice bath, filter and bottle it for the fridge and our kid's families/
What? The goat taste comes for the cooling process? I never knew that. I wish I had a good place to get raw goat milk. I've bought it before where it tasted very goaty. Other times it was very very good!
I think it has to do with goat (doe) and the pasture. Just like honey if the bees are drawing on good pasture you get great honey, no different thann for goats.
Does raw goats milk taste different than that at the health food stores.
I don't think raw milk tastes all that different from the pasteurized varieties. I think what affect the taste of milk is in the processing. Some goat milk is high in butterfat, several percent higher than most whole milk. Iam sure at the factory they reduce the butterfat to a more nominal level and use that cream they remove for cheeses and butter.
If you consume unprocessed milk chances are the percent of cream is higher and hence the milk has a creamier flavor. Some call it creamline which is beyond the 4% of whole milk.
I do not taste much difference between raw and pasteurized products. Subtle differences yes, but dramatic differnce no.
Can we put in the refrigerator instead of ice bucket., Please advise
It has been what we do for the past 3 months. We pasteurize but even the raw milk we have had no ill effects. Raw milk does not stay in the fridge more than a week before pasteurization or being made into cheese and soon soap.
how do you sterilize the containers ?
You can pour hot water into it
go Christa! I must say that you did a great job and are so much prettier than Brad! lol!
+jacki comber I agree (brad) ;)
Do you guys do any Wwoofing host?
No, we don't
I was going to make some comments, but they were vastly Rube Goldberg, and branched into making cheese, ricotta, mozzarella, steam juicing fruits, steam vegs, ... with the same apparati.
+John Lord Look up the band OK Go, and their Rube Goldberg video. awesome. I think it's called this too shall pass.
We didnt get to see you ,guys drink the goat milk after .
When I was a child I was allergic to cows milk and could only drink goats milk. Always had a sour taste to it.
Brad sent you a link on Google messaging with a possible solution for keeping water from freezing in your stock tank. Hope it helps.
+TR Outrider I will look, I did not see it...
+Big Family Homestead Here is the link to the website...www.builditsolar.com/Experimental/StockTank/SolarStockTankProto.htm
very cool, thank you!
I don't like goat milk but I want to what do you recommend?
+Super Moon Try starting with sweets, like cereal... that worked on our kids :)
+Big Family Homestead mmm ok
sorry about all the reposts, phone or RUclips wasn't working right
+moblackbird No worries, thanks!
Discussing the benefits of raw milk is not medical advise. It’s a public fact. The whole point of having a homestead is to take charge of your health
Not enough info sadly, 😞
I thought metal is not good for goats milk. Perhaps only if it is kefir
You don’t have to be a doctor to at least recommend that people drink it raw. You don’t have to be a doctor to know safe raw milk is far superior to any store bought due to the nutrients in it. Don’t be so afraid to speak the truth and try to help people. The agricultural mafia is tied in with the medical system. Both don’t prioritize human health. Use your knowledge to help others no one can sue you because you spoke on the benefits of raw milk.
No you do not have to be a doctor, just plantiff's attorney.
We drink the milk straight after it's out of the zipple😆
Christa is getting WAAYYY too comfortable on camera...better watch out, Brad.
(Think 10K subs helped Christa a bit more comfortable?? LOL)
+ItsyFarm Nope, she still hates it... maybe at 50k, who knows...
Show us how to make goat cheese :D
What of you want to change the milk into sour cream?
Why is goat milk so expensive? It doesn't even go through the process cow's milk does?
good deal. the only difference I donis. now keep in mind I only milk to goats. but I just got in the goat stall ,give feed and chain her to the post while eat and sit on the ground
clean her teats with baby wipes . milk in the mason jar
I have nubians and I get quart 2 times a day
hold the jar with one hand and milk with the other, go home with is 6 milk ,straight with a cheese cloth and put the ring around the cloth. strain it and put in frig. keep one week to 10 days and it is so sweet and good in goat and if it is starting to taste goatee I cook mashpotatoes etc
Oh my, you should be getting much more milk from two Nubian goats ! I have a Nubian/Lamancha cross that I'm milking right now and I get a half a gallon a day, milking her once a day. This is her first freshening too, so next year will be even more milk.
Lord jeyzuz, yes u can drink it. What's the whole point of having a goat?
what’s yo instagram
We don't have one :(
My father in law just boil it then drink it
It's crazy we haven't figured out how to "cold pasturize". Safety without quality reduction. I guess iphones are more important.
Right. I'm gonna go to a doctor if I need a surgery. I'm gonna go to mother nature for some natural remedies to common problems and immune system boosts. Gonna go to nutritionist for dieting recommendations. You do know how to think for yourself right? Asking because this seems like a government statement you gave.
How to process goat milk..Karen Carpenter.. prescription..the brothers Grimm..🧙💤💤💤🌹
My wife said I tasted goatee so I shaved it off. huh??? ha!
I tried to drink it strait from the nipple once it was nasty 😝
Too bad she didn't say it would taste "goatse"
😂😂😂😂
You are killing are the good of the 🥛 the
? You must have dirty goats? Mine always tastes fresh. I drink raw milk and it never tastes goaty? Nor is a danger WTH? Warm fresh with a little ginger and turmeric right after milking is delicious! From the city huh? Goats milk doesn’t taste goaty .
It's gonna taste goaty. Y'all need psychiatric help. Ain't that the whole point of a goat. Let me guess, when y'all slaughter the goat, y'all want it to taste like pork??
very informative! Christa, you did a great job!
