Having raised goats, I can highly recommend them. However, they are very
bright and, if allowed to forage freely, would rather raid a kitchen for
maize than rummage among weeds. Also, I cannot imagine that any process to
make silk from their milk would be more beneficial than eating their highly
nutritious & low-allergy milk & milk products (too many males?--their meat
is also great!).
