Not very long.... We used to buy raw goats milk from a farm down the road, and we always made sure to use it within about 3 days because it started to get a funny taste after that. We buy raw cows milk now and it lasts over a week.
It also depends on how clean the milking operation is. If milked properly, it should last 4 to 7 days from milking and assuming proper refrigeration (<5°C). Commercial dairy processors use raw milk before 4 days to ensure best quality.

Any cheese, be it goat, cow, sheep, yak, water buffalo, or made from any milk, will last for weeks at or below 40°F. Longer at higher temps it a waxed or rind cheese. Softer cheeses are subject to molding quicker than hard or semi-hard cheeses. But, remember that all cheeses are aged to some degree. Cheddars for instance can be aged for a year or more.
A bottle of goat milk can stay out at room temperature for about 4 hours. The milk can be refrigerated for up to 48 hours.
Typically, you can leave goat milk out of the fridge for about three to four hours. Any longer than that can promote the growth of harmful bacteria.
