I drank raw milk every day of my life until the folks moved to town when I was 16 - apparently there are some immunities transmitted in the unpasteurized and unhomogenized version of that freshest of products.
The milk was generally consumed the day it was produced, as there was some concern about refrigeration. What cooling there was came about largely because of submerging the milk cans in fresh-flowing spring water, as mechanical means were not yet in widespread use in rural communities.
