Currently, only 10 states allow sales of unpasturized (uncooked) milk based on the mistaken notion that cooked milk makes it somehow better for consumers. Farm fresh milk is safe, being tested frequently for food safety, but also tastes better than overheated milk.

Many years ago I got raw milk from one of the only dairies allowed to sell it. It was the most delicious milk I've ever had, and tasted nothing like the junk they sell in grocery stores. Ultimately I had to stop getting it b/c I couldn't keep up with the amount that came with the minimum order. It had to be delivered by a "milk man". I don't drink milk anymore, but if I did and could find some raw milk, I'd get it in a second.
I'd seen a story about it on a local t.v. news program. They said that the dairy was organic and had to follow stringent procedures for cleanliness, etc.

I grew up on a farm, and we had milk straight from the cow! And if one of the farm cats got too close to the milk bucket, the milker would sometimes shoot a stream of warm milk at the cat straight from the udder! That, of course, would run off the cat. When I went off to college, I had a guy down the hall in the dorm from me who came from New Jersey (he's now in Cleveland) who was astonished that you could drink milk straight from the cow!
Speaking of raw milk, I just had a pint bottle of lowfat chocolate milk with every "-ized" in the book! Not only cooked and processed, but complete with artificial flavor (vanilla, one of the easiest flavors to synthesize).

I wish I could get some raw goat milk cheese. I love various kinds of goat cheese, and I've heard that it has some enzymes that are very healthy. Of course heat kills (deactivates?) enzymes, so if pasteurized it wouldn't be the same. It's almost impossible to find, and when I do see some, as I did last week at Whole Foods, it's way too expensive.

We got raw on occasion from my cousins' dairy farm down the road when I was a kid. It. Is. Awesome! Whole milk from the grocery is typically a bit over 3% milkfat but raw (depending on breed of cow and nutrition) can be anywhere from about 3.5% to nearly 5%. I used to love skimming the cream off the top to make ice cream. YUM!

I grew up with farmers in my family. We had raw milk, made our own butter, and raised and killed our chickens.
We owned 2 horses, 1 goat, 3 raccoons, 1 grey fox. The 2 horses died from Equine Encephalitis that took the
lives of over 200 in our area. The goat Rammer Jammer died from natural causes. The 3 baby raccoons were captured
from a log on the river after their mother had drowned nearby. They later were too smart and escaped their pen.
The young grey fox was retrieved from a country dirt road after being hit by a car. He had a hip injury. We kept him
2 years and someone we knew wanted to make him a house pet. They gave him a little training and he was riding
in their car and living in the house like a dog or cat. The older he got he started spraying the house and they had
to put him outside. He stayed around for a long time while they fed him, then he just didn't show up anymore. They
lived on a 100 acre farm which was perfect for him. Hopefully he learned to hunt on his own.
