Coffee anyone ?

My local organic meat source will be offering raw milk, cow or goat.

Which should I try?

I have not been able to tolerate cow's milk, ice cream, most dairy for years. I've wondered if a pure form might be tolerated.

I think @farmerjan will have better insight than me on this but I do know that some people tolerate goat milk but can't cow cow. Having said that most people who are "lactose intolerant" can drink A2A2 cows milk just fine. It's the beta caseins that are different. Easier to digest. If you get raw cows milk you have the option of taking the cream off if you desire and using it or making ice cream or butter and still leaving enough to drink. Goat milk doesn't really separate like cows milk. Which ever you try start slow.

@fuzzi I will add that I hope you can drink either kind of milk. I can't imagine not being able to have dairy products. Having our own fresh milk was the best (and sometimes worst ) decision of our lives. I don't think I could ever go back to pasteurized "milk". Times like right now I question my sanity for having the milk cows ourselves but I truly do recommend raw milk. Stick with A2A2 until you know if you can have it or not if you go cow's milk. Goat's milk is naturally A2A2 so you are good there automatically.

I'd try the goat milk... it is often more tolerated.... get a qt or even just a pint... and use it COLD.... I tried some of @Mini Horses goat milk a couple years ago and was surprised that it was not much different in taste from raw cow's milk.... just does not separate out the butterfat very easily.... but it was very drinkable....
As @RR Homestead said,,,, start slow......if the goat milk works, then try the cow milk....
