Yeah, but young children don't really need to drink cow or goat milk if they have breast milk for long enough in infancy.
I'ts interested me for a long time that societies without milk producing animals - eg the Australian Aboriginals - lived long healthy lives before white invasion - maybe because kids had breastmilk for quite a few years and they also walked around the country a lot.
Many Asian societies which have only recently begun to use dairy products also survived ok without animal milk.
A lot of the information given out about dairy products emanates from the dairy producers - not that I have anything against farmers, some of my best friends etc - but it's in their interests to have us believe we need dairy products to be healthy
Why do we drink milk?
