Here is an interesting discussion that has been going back and forth in the supplements and the "health conscious" community - is milk an effective calcium supplement?
* Myth: * Milk isn't as effective as calcium supplement.
*Truth: * Milk is rich in Calcium. A lot of the controversy actually relates to the nutritional value of milk. This has often been confused when entering discussions about calcium in milk. Having said that, do we really absorb more calcium from milk than from other sources? A study done at Cambridge seems to support that milk calcium does seem to be better absorbed (ref: http://journals.cambridge.org/download.php?file=%2FBJN%2FBJN62_02%2FS0007114589001224a.pdf&code=c981794509f8f5b781bc6fe8a66d382c).
So, milk has many other benefits, and since it is indeed a good source of calcium, you can take skimmed milk fortified with calcium to avoid the fats, and it should be good for you in other ways.
