on 11/6/2009 Male goats urine is very strong and that is what taints milk and makes it taste bad. It kind of tastes like pine in a way.

on 8/11/2009 We are new to milk goats. When we first began the milk was great and now it has an aweful flavor and smell. A neighboring pen has males but they are all wethered. Does that matter or is it just males, period? We are tired of milking in vain. Help, we miss our tasty goat milk!
