According to SASheepDairy.co.za, sheep milk is more acceptable to the human digestive system in comparison to cow’s and goat’s milk. What? Sheep milk?

Yes, sheep milk! It is interesting to learn that sheep milk contains about double and in some cases much more than double the amount of solids found in either goat’s and cow’s milk and is ideal for cheese production.

Sheep milk is superior and belongs to a class of its own in as far as nutrition is concerned. The only other milks that can be compared with it would be that of the camel and the water buffalo and it does not have such a strong smell or taste as is often the case with goat’s milk.

Sheep milk is a sure healthy dairy alternative.

It is rich in fats and minerals; carrying critical nutritional substances like protein, calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, thiamin, riboflavin, Vitamin B6 and B12, Vitamin D, the medium chain amino acids, linoleic acids and all ten of the essential amino acids.

So the next time you think of cheese, butter, ice cream and other dairy products; think sheep milk.
