So lets say you read my last post about factory-farmed cow's milk, and you decide you don't want to buy it any more. What are your other options?
Organic and/or Hormone-free cow's milk or goat's milk is much more expensive to purchase than regular cow's milk, if it can be found at all. Keeping your own dairy goat is more economical in the long run.
According to Story's Guide to Raising Dairy Goats (2010), a gallon of store-bought goat's milk costs at least $11 (although I've heard prices much higher than this). On the other hand, after factoring in feeding costs, goat's milk can be produced at home for approximately $2.25 per gallon (which is also less than regular store-bought cow's milk, not to mention organic cow's milk).
