It taste pretty good. I have asthma so regular cows milk causes more mucus in the lungs and wheezing. But myenberg goat milk is too expensive. 10 dollars for 64 ounce half gallon and 5 dollars for 32 ounces. The a1 milk is 4.49 for half a gallon compared to the 10 for the same half gallon of goat milk. Half the price of the goat milk. And costco is 10 dollars for 3 half gallons of whole milk or 2% or 1% or skim milk. So 4.49 x 3 is 13.47 versus 10 bucks. So only 3 dollars and 47 cents more. not bad. kavan sidhuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15436304409430493890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7003348645601520194.post-20281895999213356662015-05-01T16:20:19.108-05:002015-05-01T16:20:19.108-05:00It's interesting to hear your family has the s...It's interesting to hear your family has the same reaction, GJ. Sometimes I wonder about my conclusions, but I really do think the milk was the culprit.

The only raw milk sources are Amish farmer... 100 miles away (we used to travel there often) and another source that is $8 or more. sigh.

But after I read about it, I was extra glad we have goats.

I have read about places in Australia that sell specifically A2 milk, but not in the U.S. You may want to look for small, commercial dairies in your area to see if they specify between A1 and A2 milk, or try to find a goat dairy. I'm sorry to hear about your husband's allergy, that must be difficult. Thank you for the questions.<br /><br />Fern<br />Frank and Fernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15570058990887565563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7003348645601520194.post-35957804282373864192015-04-26T13:01:23.795-05:002015-04-26T13:01:23.795-05:00You're right. It's not. I said, "This...You're right. It's not. I said, "This past winter we drank regular store bought, WHOLE milk for about four or five months, because all of the goats were pregnant and not producing milk." Whole milk meaning not 1% or 2%, but commercial, whole milk with no fat removed. The milk we currently consume from our goats is raw. We do not pasteurize it. <br /><br />If I in error referred to store bought milk elsewhere in the article as raw, please let me know where it is and I will correct it. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to clarify this for you.<br /><br />Fern<br />Frank and Fernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15570058990887565563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7003348645601520194.post-52069017410260678282015-04-26T12:34:10.565-05:002015-04-26T12:34:10.565-05:00Your store bought milk was NOT raw!Your store bought milk was NOT raw!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7003348645601520194.post-165437504771261302015-04-25T23:32:04.279-05:002015-04-25T23:32:04.279-05:00Do you have a list of A2 sources?
