Did you know that people drink goat's milk? In fact, more people in the world drink goat's milk than dairy cattle's milk. The dairy goat project is a great way for members to learn about agriculture around the world while the goats are in the backyard. 4-H members may start with a doe and then raise kids to create their own dairy goat herd.
