What are the benefits of drinking goat's and sheep's milk over cow's milk?

For several reasons, goat's milk and sheep's milk are often recommended as alternatives to cow's milk. For one, most goats and sheep are pastured and aren't given the same levels of hormones and antibiotics as used in large dairy operations. This means the milk is cleaner. For another, the proteins in goat's and sheep's milk appear to be more easily digested by humans than the proteins in cow's milk. Therefore, people with dairy allergies are sometimes able to tolerate these milks more easily than they can cow's milk. If you're not able to tolerate cow's milk (including raw milk), try goat's or sheep's milk and see how your body responds.
