MilkQuest # 1 - I know that goats can be milked, what about sheep ?

Question

"I don't know", says the city boy, sheepishly. Do people drink sheep's milk.

Answer 1

Some drink it.  Sheep's milk cheese is not baaaaad at all.

Answer 2

Yes people drink sheeps milk.  Mostly in the Middle East, and Africa.  Even there it is not common to drink sheeps milk.  Sheep have a very short lactation period.  Usually six months, tops.  Sometimes only four months.  

Sheeps milk is very high in fats.  This helps lambs grow very fast.  Most sheep milk is produced to make very high end cheese, both in the U.S., and in France.
