If you have chosen to keep one of the dairy breeds, you need first and foremost to understand how to produce milk hygienically. Then you will find that at least in the spring and summer you get more milk than you need for drinking and cooking, so making cream, ice-cream, butter, yoghurt and many different hard and soft cheeses becomes possible - and by the way you can deep-freeze goats' milk, unlike cows' milk. This booklet tells you how to do all these things for yourself and your family.
