Granted, there’s not much risk to people, if cows are tested for bangs. But look at the minimum temperature duration and time for pasteurizing milk.

It’s not much, and I don’t see why small dairies selling direct to customers couldn’t do it. Push for that instead of fighting against pasteurization, and compete!
I assume that regulations governing dairies vary from state to state. I’ve known a number of people around here who keep goats, but can’t sell milk legally, because the regulations are such that unless a person has a big herd than can’t be followed - too expensive. So people with a dozen or less milking animals (or even more than that) can’t possibly legally sell milk.
That’s just not right.
