It is not exactly known why cow's milk tastes like onions when they eat onions because it is something that has not been studied, just passed down from generation to generation based on practical and anecdotal experience. One possibly plausible theory could be that the sulphur-base precurors found in onions react with an enzyme called alliinase creating flavour compounds which give the onion its characteristic flavour and smell when the cow bites down on the onion plant or bulb, and again when she may be chewing parts of onion in her cud. These substances, after going through the four chambers of a cow's stomach, are absorbed into the bloodstream and get transferred into the milk cells which are responsible for the snythesis and excretion of the mammary fluid we know as milk. When milk is synthesized in these cells, these substances get, essentially, "put in" to the milk along with other nutrients and substances that get drawn from the bloodstream. As a result, we get milk that tastes like onions.

Is organic goat milk better than organic cow milk?
Organic goat milk has been proven to be healthier than organic cow's milk. However, when a goat is feeding in the pastures, the goat milk tends to taste almost like the smell of a goat; whereas when they are feeding from the stables with a diet mainly consisting of hay, their milk taste sweet like cow's milk.
