I have my own sheep, that I milk, I also have 2 cows and 2 goats-The sheep get my full vote for cheese making, I get around 1-2 litres per day, sheep's milk has double the cheese yield of cow or goat and the cheese is to die for! We also prefer it's smooth creamy taste for drinking too and we separate and make butter as well. The cow's are okay, heaps of milk, but they are big, messy and can be dangerous-the goats and sheep don't hurt me if they but me or stand on me or kick me etc-the goats are also okay but I don't like the goaty taste that most cheese develops over time, I know some people love it though! The sheep and goats are easier to handle for sure-if I need to drench or trim feet I can do it myself with the goats/sheep but need major help and a crush for the cows.
