As it appears to be here – I can get canned goat milk, or dried goat milk but have yet to find a source for fresh milk. At one time I could get raw cow milk but that source went away, now I’m finding nothing.

Oh, well ok – but that still isn’t thousand(s), She doesn’t say how big her family is and our experience would say for 4 she’d get by with 2, maybe three and your prices for good milking goats is much higher than ours. If she doesn’t want to milk them herself then the question is moot. Apparently, it’s milk them yourselves or do without there..

From what I’ve observed, a good milk goat is going to cost at least $100 and probably closer to $500 and maybe she doesn’t really want to milk her own goat but would rather buy the milk. If she would decide to milk her own and wants a steady supply of milk, she would need at least 2 goats, probably 3, so she would be investing at least one thousand. Unless you have a thousand laying around, that is an investment to be considered.
