i had friends who kept goats (they lived out in the hills of New Mexico).
friendly, intelligent... when it was milking time, Marta would call the name
of the goat she wanted to milk, and that one would come.
now, about the taste. yes, goat milk tastes DIFFERENT than cow milk (and i
would assume the same to be true of mare's milk, yak milk, camel milk, etc....
i can vouch for the different taste of human milk...exceedingly sweet) but the
particularly strong, or even foul taste, comes about when the females are
kept close to males. yes, i know they have to get a little close to get the
milk in the first place :-), but my friends had no males (the nannies mated
with a visiting billy, who then went back home), so while it tasted like
goat milk, it was pleasant and mild. i've bought "fresh" goat milk in
health food stores (i guess it was Pasteurized, but goat milk DOES NOT need
to be homogenized, the fat is already nicely distributed, so it's better
for humans than those micro-fine cow milk fats) and it was pretty good, but
not quite as delicious as fresh from the goat.
