Why are goat milk products more expensive to buy?
There are several reasons that goat milk products are more expensive. 1, goat dairies get no government price supports or subsidies so that they must charge the actual cost of production. 2, milking goats is more labor intensive than milking cows since it takes 10 goats to give the milk of one cow. 3, most goat dairies are family farms not having the economy of scale of very large, corporate farms.
