The USA is being run by idiots, and some people want to import the nonsense here.

The problem is less the raw milk than the treatment/transport. Drink uncooled within 15 minutes of milking, when instantly cooled: on the same day. Do not swap containers more than 2-3 times.

Which basically means: only available next to the barn the cows are milked in.

@vampirdaddy @selzero drinking shit-flecked milk straight from the cow is still bad news.

If there is dirt in the milk (or on the udder) then I'd avoid the rancher and their products regardless of raw or cooked.

@vampirdaddy @selzero have you... Met cows?

@selzero

Herded, fed, cleaned (the bedding in the cowshed, the animal, the udder thoroughly before each and every milking), milked (machine and by hand).
Two of my uncles were farmers...
