Im sure you state has a "Dept of Ag" I would look that up and see what your state laws are on raw milk. Cuz I know there is loop holes if its your own or have a share in the animals. I have friends in other states that will do animals shares and split the milk. On paper. LOL!
Thank God...it is still legal in NH to sell, drink or take a bath in raw milk if you want!!! Our state moto "Live free or die" !!!
But we have alot of Dairy farmers up here.
I think that raw milk regulations are ridiculous!!
Im shocked the FBI has gotten involved in this. The FBI has turned into Dairy Corporation Cops in my opinion "Big Ag/Factory Farms Thugs"! 
I think there are more things in the groceries stores that will kill me first!! Also I think the FBI has much more important things to do than to worry about farmers selling a few gallons of milk to people who WANT raw milk!!! I read an article about the FBI arresting an amish farmer for selling raw milk in PA. Entered his home @5am in front of his family and arrested him!! Sick world. As there are people selling crack to 6th graders and terrorist planning their next attack on our country. It floors me to see this. Shameful!!
Thats my opinion on that, anyway!! LOL Sorry to go on and on. Those laws just anger me..because I think there on the books to protect the factory farms. Because if the Dept of Ag really cared about what we ate..there would not be groceries stores full of JUNK and poisons.
Id rather drink raw milk than cola that removes paint from my car!!
I could go on forever!! LOL...Sorry!! Just maddening!!

Just to add...in all state except Michigan. You can sell raw milk for animal consumption. So if your friends doggies love goat milk...well there ya have it!! A loop hole!! Jump through it as a proud goat farmer!!! Good luck!! 
Totally agree with you, Emmetts, and so glad we can still buy and sell raw milk here in MN too. My parents are in Iowa and just hate it that they can't get any raw milk. Look for any loop hole you can and take advantage of it.

Definately get everything in writing. Make sure your contract specifies health care (they should pay) and/or what to do if the worse case happens and the goat is either hurt or dies. You don't want them coming back to sue you for damages and, unfortunately, accidents do happen (even more that usual when you're caring for someone else's animal).
We once agreed to raise some chicks for a friend who didn't have a brooder. It did not go well. We agreed to split an order of chicks 50/50 and were supposed to split feed costs the same. The electric went out, the chicks piled up and several died. Instead of splitting the loss, we ended up having to count all the dead ones as "ours." Then a larger number than usual were roosters. He didn't want but one rooster, so again, we ended up having to keep them as our share. He also didn't keep up his end of buying feed. He did eventually pay us back, but if we would have waited for him the chicks would have starved. We will never again do something like this.
Not to say you shouldn't do this, just a word of caution and something more to think about.
