Goat's Milk Facts

Goat Milk Production is Quality Over Quantity
Given all of the advantages of goat milk, it's natural to wonder why cow's milk remains the standard for most store shelves in the USA. The simple answer is that it would take a lot more goats to produce enough milk to fill store shelves. Though goat milk is more nutritious, goats produce less milk than a cow. While a dairy cow often produces four to nine gallons of milk per day, a goat produces between a half gallon and two gallons per day. Because it's easier to generate a lot of cow milk quickly, it's cheaper to sell. The fact is that although goats produce less milk than cows, they also eat much less so the costs to mass produce goat milk would be much cheaper than with cows.
