Dear Father Deacon Diak, You state: We have goats and have raised our kids on goats milk. Is that not normal for the kid to nurse from his mother? Or do you now remove the kid and nurse him with formula or cow's milk? It has been a long time since I went through Kansas, so things may have changed, for the butter?  Michael

Well, that was a pun...kids, get it... People who raise goats like to do that to people.  I was referring to the human kind that we raised on goat's milk, not the caprine, although it goes for them as well. You only leave the caprine kids on long enough to get colostrum from the doe (first 48-72 hours) and then you separate them. The doe usually gives plenty to bottle feed the kid and provide for those milking her. Some people switch over to milk replacer for the caprine kid if they want all of the milk for themselves. DD

Dear Father Deacon Diak, You state: People who raise goats like to do that to people. what is it that you do to people? Sorry to kid you so much. It is just that your original comment got my goat up. Also, please tell us about your newest avatar. If you have already done so, which topic is it under? Thank you. Michael

I hate to generalize, but you want to know why it is so easy for Europeans to recognize Americans? It is because they are the heavy ones with bad skin!
Na Zdarovye!
Alexandr Alexandr, Isn't it common in Europe to find only ULTRA-pasteurized milk? In the US we are slaves to speed and convenience so all of our food is over-processed. We have this paradox of the poorest people in our country generally being the most overweight. It can only be from the abundance of overprocessed, nutritionally void food. I have much more to say about this but I have to go insulate my attic with Wonder bread

Here I was going to waste money on the pink insulation and a cheaper (and perhaps more environmentally friendly) way is wonder bread...
Interesting.

Hmmm. Possibly it was goat's milk which accounted for the popularity of the Chevrolet.

I don't get it.  What do you mean Incognitus? If that is your real name!

Dear Dr. Eric,
Find someone who speaks French and ask him to tell you what "Chevrolet" might mean if he heard the word spoken rather than seeing it in writing!

Dr. Eric, "chevrolet" is slang for goat milk in the French-speaking cantons of Switzerland.
The soft white cheese from goat's milk is called "chevre" in French and meat from a goat is "chevon".

I had a year of French at SIU and got an A. I didn't know that!

DD When you make yogurt is it thick or more liquid? If it is thick, how do you get it that way without heating the milk too much?

The facts of life seem to be either quantity or quality. We can't have them both. Certainly for food as well.
