Dairy goats’ gain may be dairy cows’ loss. Americans’ demand for goat’s milk has steadily risen since the late 1980s when chefs such as Alice Waters at Chez Panisse blew our minds with fresh goat’s cheese on salads. There is often a surfeit of goat’s milk in the summer and a dearth in the winter, Lentze said. She acknowledges the meteoric rise in U.S. dairy goats, but says it is not all easy street. A gallon of goat’s milk is $4.50 wholesale, while a gallon of cow’s milk runs from $1 to $1.50.
