By Alexis Griffee New dairy goat buyers should remember housing, breed traits, feed, and health before bringing animals home. Although being a dairy farmer comes with its own unique set of challenges, it can be one of the most rewarding aspects of farming. Farm fresh milk is one of the most versatile items that can be produced on a farm. Milk can be used to raise other livestock, for your own consumption, for cheesemaking, or even sold to bring income to your farm (where legal, so be sure to check your state laws and regulations). While dairy farming is rewarding, it is not something to be entered into lightly. There is a lot to know about dairying as well as caring for goats to ensure that your venture is a success.
