We had a couple of does for awhile years ago, and never bothered to pastuerize the milk.
Couple of tips- Cool the milk as fast as you can, to avoid the "billy goat" flavor. Best to put it in pint jars, in the freezer for a half hour, then in the refer. Once its cold, you can consolidate into larger containter if you want. If you put it in a gallon jug in the refer to cool it, I guarantee it will be a very short-lived experiment in goat dairying. "EEUUWW, Mom, this stuff is gross"!
Also, best not to have a billy goat, but if you must, keep him well separated from the does. If they are allowed to get near him, the milk will end up tasting a lot like he smells.
4 foot high woven wire fencing, with 2 electric wires- one with stand-off insulators about "goat head high", another on top of the woven wire. Goats hate electricity. Make sure it is working well when you first put them in the pen- they'll sniff it out of curiosity, get zapped, and will never get near it again. Without electric wires, you'll have a constant battle. We even had one who could climb woven wire, then roll herself over the top.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
