i think it's not a good idea.  my experience with milk intolerance in
babies is fairly vast.....even the moms who initially try goat/sheep
milk eventually find that what they thought was tolerable turned out
not to be.

few in our culture could imagine allowing a woman to nurse a baby
other than her own.  fewer still can imagine scenarios in which adults
would be drinking human breastmilk.   we couldn't imagine nursing from
a rat or a giraffe or a dog, yet every day, we think essentially
nursing from a cow is totally fine.  not only fine but healthy and
beneficial.   if milk from said cow becomes unavailable or
undesireable,  the first thought is 'what shall i use to replace it?'

the best milk alternative is to free ourselves of the idea that there
is anything biologically appropriate about drinking the 'breast'milk
of another species.
