@sHAd0W11591 if there is people who eat goat cheese and drink goat milk, of course they produce milk without the need of pregnancy, think a little man.

Do goats produce milk on their own, or only when pregnant?

Goat cheese is the best cheese there is.

Goat milk has a smaller fat globule, so it is easier to digest. The fat is naturally homogenized so the fat stays suspended in the milk. Homogenization in store bought milk makes it undigestable.
