Dairy goats are pretty badly over-yielding, too, and get a lot of the same problems that dairy cows do, associated with milking. They may well be better off in some respects, but these things are always hard to tell.

What [livejournal.com profile] emperor said about old breeds is really a key thing - you occasionally see milk labled 'From Ayrshire Cows' - Ayrshires are pretty little red cattle which have never had the abuse the Holstein-Fresians have, and whose welfare in my experience is better.

That's interesting.. any recollection where you've seen this stuff?

Speaking as someone who swills down milk with her breakfast cereal daily I think making my wake-up meal a bit more ethical would be nice :)

ISTR Waitrose, but it would have been a couple of years ago, because I moved away from our local one that long ago...

What abouyt Jersey, is that any better? I'd guess not given how popular the milk is.
