Type of milk you drink regularily

I'm so curious to try fresh goat's milk. I want to know if I'll find it rather funky as I find goat's milk cheese and store bought goat's milk. To me I really taste the "farm" smell, if you know what I mean?

Yes! Leaves a strange, unpleasant sensation in my mouth and then makes me feel physically and mentally "off" for a while.

My nutritionist and doctor has me take in a quite a lot of protein, and a lot of this comes from non-fat dairy. I made myself get used to the taste of skim milk and I do drink a lot of it. I have found that a nice benefit of this is that it seems to be the only way that I get enough calcium - I hate taking supplements. I buy them and don't take them So I go through a lot of skim milk, no-fat cottage cheese and Chobani non-fat greek yogurt .

We tried to strip the dairy in our diet down. Milk was limited to the standard recovery drink chai so we switched that out to soy milk.

When we switched to soy we tried various non-dairy milks. We liked oat milk, but it isn't high in protein. I don't like the "oh, but we need to make it taste like dairy milk"-soy milks. I now buy Eden Soy's basic soy milk. The ingredients are organic soy beans and water. No sugars. No binders. Just soy milk. It is actually good without all that stuff that's supposed to make it taste better.

I rarely drink milk. If I had my way, I would drink 2%, but because it's such a rare occasion, if I have milk in my cereal or something it's skim because that's what my husband drinks. I do slip a little half and half in my coffee.

Yes, that "farm" smell is actually a lovely smell to a goat. We call it 'goaty' and in extreme forms 'bucky' (because bucks smell extremely strong like it). My husband recoils at the smell out on the farm (it's rare on our farm since we don't keep a buck on site) but I don't mind it. I do HATE it in my milk though - and to be perfectly honest, I don't like goat's milk cheese either. Too 'bucky' for me.

I swear that fresh goats milk has NONE of that flavor/smell if it is processed correctly.
