You know, I've actually been thinking about getting a goat one of these days. We also used to raise goats, a mixed herd of 17 and my favorites by far were the Nubians. Rich, sweet milk, great personality, cute as could be, calm... never had a problem with them, unlike some of our others! Once the entire herd got loose and took off up the hill into the pine forest. When they returned at milking time, the milk was awful! Pine needles don't hurt them to eat but they sure affected the milk for a few days.
So, my question to the goat-herders here is, does the tanglefoot fern affect the taste of the milk? We have a lot of it so it would be an issue.
As for transporting milk from the grocery store, I think you've already hit the nail on the head: check the date, and keep it cool.
