Oh so sheep milk is the closest to human milk ? And how’s your friend doing now with sheep’s milk ?

How exciting, that will be a fun adventure! The great thing about the sheep milk is that it's not only delicious and versatile, but it's also considered to be the best kind of dairy milk for you! Hope you enjoy your girls! :D

How did it turn out? Did your breed choice provide milk well?

Totally awesome! Keep it up and let me know how you like the sheep milk when you get it! Thanks for the comment and keep living the dream!

How tall are you? If you're male, are you well over 6ft? If you're female, are you over 5'7?

@@EriPages haha idk abt inches and stuff, but I’m 165cm (female). Not too short nor too tall :)

@@firearies05 that's 5'5...which is average height for a female I was just curious if that upbringing made you taller than the average, but maybe you didn't eat enough meat growing up? I've noticed people who eat enough meat and especially organ meat growing up become very tall, while people who eat mostly vegetables, fruits, carbs growing up are average height or short...how about you? Have you noticed it too?

@@EriPages I’ve never paid that much attention but I do know that diet can influence growth, tho I believe it’s mostly genetics :)

@@firearies05 lol Whats your IG? I'll follow you & DM you there

We've heard the same thing about the Nigerian Dwarf goats and just had the pportunity to taste some this last week! It was creamier than the Nubian milk for sure but both amazing (we ended up getting 2 Nubians in milk and loved their milk). As far as a hair dairy sheep, I've heard of a few people who milk their Katahdins and love their milk... the only thing is you're not going to get the same quantity. Also, I'd try it before you go that route because each breed has a different flavor. You can't beat homemade Ice cream!!!! Best. Ever! So glad you liked this video, all we can say is raw milk is the best! Haha God bless Steve and hope you find what you're looking for!

Thanks! One last thing on raw vs pasteurized. Someone did a video of a jar of pasteurized milk and set a jar of raw milk next to it. Then every day they took a picture of the jars as they at out on their table. Over time you could see the pasteurized milk spoil in the most nasty of ways. It had gross green stuff growing on top and black junk in it. The raw milk didn't take that route, it spoiled into like cottage cheese or yougurt, not sure what it was but it was not gross and disgusting like the pasteurized milk was. They said that the pasteurization kills off the good bacteria which prevents the nasty things from happening.....another point for raw milk!

​@@Steve-ps6qw Yes!! Isn't it just incredible what a huge difference there is! It makes you sad that so many people just simply aren't aware of the incredible, nutrient dense, living foods that are out there! The gal who owned the ranch in the video did a test on how long her raw goats milk lasted in the fridge - it kept for 3 weeks! We've experienced similar results with out goats milk - how cool! Another danger with the pasteurized milk is that it can spoil and be filled with harmful bacteria before we can even notice it - like you said Steve, there isn't the good bacteria to fight these guys off! Raw milk is awesome.

Our pleasure Tom, it was a blast to try the different types of milk, and we are so glad it was helpful for a decision you're making! One thing we would like to recommend that we have figured out is that each breed gives a different flavor as well as each individual animal! So if there is a way you can safely taste the milk of whichever animal you may be getting, then that would be smart :) that way you know that you will like what you are getting! Good luck and God bless!

The American Farmstead thanks very much for the tip! I'll absolutely keep that in mind. I hadn't thought of that

@@TomRiddleMeThisSpock Our pleasure, hope it helps!

Thank you Eric, we appreciate your support all the way from Canada!! :D

That's if it stays cold soon as it milked. But goat really get a different flavor when allow to get warm.

Jessica Linzy Oh yay, how exciting! We are so glad you liked our video, I know it was the coolest experience to be able to taste milk from each of the different animals! And have you ever had sheep before? Or milked any dairy animal before? I know that during our visit to Blue Oaks ranch we were able to see the milking done for all the animals and noticed the sheep's teats were much smaller than the goats and cow.. our hostess even mentioned it is harder to milk the sheep, unless you have a machine, but of course is totally doable! I'm not trying to scare you, just give you a little head's up in case you didn't know! We knew a gal in Idaho who milked her Katahdin doe every morning! We are so excited for you getting your animals, oh there is nothing greater than raising you own food! :D God Bless and good luck on your milking venture!

P.S. We actually just got 2 milking Nubian goats this weekend and LOVE their milk! Super easy to milk too and between milking them once a day we are getting a collective gallon a day! Just in case goats were an option for you too ;D

The American thank for the feed back! I’m decided on sheep because I also want to process the wool! I have experience spinning my own yarn and I crochet and knitt. So a sheep is triple beneficial.

That sounds great, spinning your own wool is definitely on the bucket list here! We actually just posted a video on our trip to Blue Oaks Ranch where everyone favored the sheep milk so I'm sure you'll be happy with your choice, especially since you get meat and wool as well! :D Best of luck to you and God bless!

Thanks for the comment! Well we can say with confidence that the flavor of the milk changes per producer and depends on a variety of things like breed, diet, and preparation. We thought sheep milk tasted more like sheep (go figure) but then again that was raw fresh milk. We started out having goats milk in the stores and it tasted really "goaty" and we did not like it.. but when we tried fresh raw milk it pretty much tasted like cow milk (if you try real hard you might get a goat taste). I would recommend trying some sheep milk again from a good source and fresh and cold! we plan on getting some sheep as our next milkers!

My Son drinks sheep milk he actually prefers it. 500 ml everyday. He is 3 years old

Sheep milk is the best, but you gotta be rich to buy it all the time, is expensive.

@JaRule Monster The only thing I can think of is to see if any farms near you sell it - maybe check your local CSA (community supported agriculture) or even Craigslist too? We hope you are able to find some!

We've never heard of Maraz Goats but our Nubian goats definitely give us delicious milk!

@@theamericanfarmstead131 I don t know if you have here in USA but we have. Them in Kurdistan they are originally from there they small goat with very soft hair if you want I will send you pictures you will love them their milk is close to sheep milk and their meat is best ever

@@rassanzedkyakre No worries, we googled them! How cool, it's always great to see what animals other people enjoy, especially when they are different than what we are used too!

@@theamericanfarmstead131 @ the Blackhead Persian (Sheep milk is the best 10/10!!😎

@@rassanzedkyakre Biji Kurdistan ❤️🌹

Yes it is! We've done blind taste tests of cow vs. goats milk with many family members and friends and they can't tell the difference! It's delicious! :)

No, it's not. If they didn't separate the male goat *FAR* away from female the milk will taste like goat.

Wow, that is very expensive!! Our guess for the high prices would be a few reasons... 1)Dairy sheep produce incredibly Less milk than dairy cows- we are talking about 1/2 Gallon maximum per day compared to the 1 - 8 gallons a day you get with a dairy cow..different breeds will give different amounts. 2)Sheep's milk is much less common than cow's milk.. In the United States sheep's milk is hardly heard of compared to the common cow's milk. 3) Sheep's milk is said to be the "best" for you (out of the three) in regards to vitamin and mineral content, and ease of digestibility. Hope this helps! We know we really enjoyed the flavor of the sheep's milk when we tried it at Blue Oaks Ranch but also found it very comparable to the Nubian goat's milk, in both nutritional content and ease of digestability. Since then we have purchased two milking Nubians and love the fresh milk we get every day (roughly a gallon together with milking only once day)! The goat's were also a much more affordable and available option for us here in Southern California! Maybe you can look into trying some fresh goat's milk and see if it's more affordable/accessable in your area! (we would recommend Nubian or Nigerian Dwarf due to the high butterfat content and creaminess) or e look into getting dairy sheep of your own! :D

The American thank you so much for responding I’ll try finding alternative farmers because there different prices with different farmers. I don’t understand why the difference 19 and 25 is really different is it because of the care or idk do you know how I would be able to tell why the difference from the two different farmers ? I guess in New Jersey the prices may be a lot higher haha thank you again !

So sorry for just responding, our computer was being funky and not letting us see your massage! As far as the price difference goes, we really aren't sure why it would be so different...perhaps the one farmer just knows that people will pay $25/gallon so that's what he asks... it could also be that he puts a lot of his time and effort into the milking that he feels that $25 is what a gallon is worth... or it could simply be that price because he doesn't know of any farmer who is charging differently. You could always mention it to the farmers too and ask why they charges the $25 and the $19, I'm sure they wouldn't mind telling you why! :) Hope this helps!!

The American omg thank you that is very helpful! I wasn’t sure about doing that but that sounds great Thank you for replying and answering my questions I hope you have a blessed and beautiful day :)

Jenn Mich Our pleasure, we are happy to help out whenever we can! And have a blessed and beautiful day too! :)

Goat milk is awesome on so many levels!! :D

Definitely never tried camel milk so we wouldn't know... though we have hear water-buffalo milk tastes amazing so maybe camel milk does too? Haha no clue, hope someone else knows! :D

Camel milk is so good! Tastes just like cow milk too

@@lizheston2527 in Somalia they only drink camel and goat they don’t have cows raw too

Depends.. goaty taste come from male goats being nearby female goats.. otherwise if they are separated is very simillar to sheep but less fatty

Anton Davidoff how the hell does that work

@@yana_2_6_0 i have no idea... but it is how nature works

Rude!

This guy knows whats up.

With sheep you definitely you can make best butter but you must make butter from sheep yogurt

Where'd you here that? Goat cheese and butter is actually pretty good
