This is something I posted on a thread a few days ago but its a bit of a different topic and that other thread could go on forever, so I've edited it and reposted with this topic line.
Alright,
I've been doing a bit more research on this topic and finally found out that ND's milk fat content can be up to 8-10% but averages around 6. The milk is supposedly DELICIOUS and I can imagine that to be true. But I was reading that some people have a bit of trouble drinking it daily (besides the obvious potential for weight gain) and using it for common milk purposes (cereal, for example). So that leads me to these questions:
1) Do any of you drink ND milk on a daily basis and use it commonplace? If so, have you tried methods to water it down at all?
2) I was reading into crosses, and I really like the idea of a mini-mancha, but I'm more-so curious if having two goats of different breeds will cause "goat tension".
3) I known that Nigerians are great because of their ability and desire to breed year-around. Do ND hybrids seem to have the same ability to breed year-round?
Thanks in advance for all your help! You guys are the best.
