These values are based on a 1 cup measurement - all numbers are in 
total grams of carbs (out of roughly 233-244 grams of weight):

 16.95 - Human
 10.86 - Goat
 11.35 - cow - 3.5% milkfat
 12.18 - Cow - 1% milkfat
 10.41 - Half and Half
 8.78  - Cream - light
 3.35  - Cream heavy/whipping
166.46 - canned condensed milk (306g per cup total)

I use this site to help with my diet planning a lot.  You can
get goats milk in most dairy sections now, I know the 
supa Walmart in the rural section of PA I lived in even had
goats milk.  I haven't looked here in GA.  One thing to be
aware of with goat's milk is that it goes wrong quickly and 
is very unforgiving. (But it makes cheese very easily for this
same reason)
