Getting Their Goats

I spend quite a lot of time in rural upland New England, and have seen an increase in the number of farmers supplementing or even replacing the revenue from dairy cows and beef cattle with that from goats raised for their milk. The milk, and the cheese and yogurt made from it, is healthier for you than cows’ milk. And goats require less food and make fewer demands on the environment, including releasing less methane than cows. Further, they’re highly efficient at keeping land open; yes, goats really do feast on stuff that cows won’t touch.

Further, they’re much more entertaining: They have stronger personalities than cows. And look at the baby goat craze!
