Ice Cream Opens Doors of Opportunity for Oklahoma Dairy Goat Producer

摘要

Rick Orr, Milburn, Oklahoma, figures he can get about 32 dollar a gallon for the milk from his 150-some Nubian, Saanen, Alpine, and LaMancha milking goats. He can get that price if he turns the cream from the milk into goat milk ice cream. He currently gets 44 dollar per 100 pounds, selling goat milk to a mozzarella cheese company. Like a lot of people who get into goats Orr is an accidental goatherd. The Orr ranch includes 1,000 acres on both sides of Oklahoma's Blue River. It's a beautiful stream that is also the source of drinking water for a large number of urban people downstream in Milburn and other communities.
