When we were milking cows and while the children were small, our vet recommended using a home pasteurizer since we were getting milk from a whole herd, not just one cow.

when he milked his cow it was a like surgical procedure as far as sanitation.

We cleaned ours up well enough to get regular quality bonuses but there was alwas a chance that some ornery cow would kick the milker off into a pile of ... something ... and crud might get into the system.

So we pasteurized. So did my in-laws after my SIL at age 18 months, almost died of bacterial meningitis, possibly from raw milk.

If you aren’t used to it, immune to it, maybe you had better not.

Also IIRC the “enzymes” in raw milk could possibly be spoilage enzymes from bacteria.

YMMV. I know this might not be a popular point of view but I think people need all the facts.

I’m not against personal pasteurization or the recommendations of doctors. It’s government mandates that I and the rest of us stand against.
