Bruce, you brought up some good points in your post. During my many years of milking, never more than 10 cows I was around a lot of manure. I know how it is when the cows are out on spring grass and let it fly in the barn, it goes everywhere, as you know. I've been spattered too many time to count as I'm sure you have too on your larger dairy. As I understand, many of the bacterial growths come from manure contamination. Not trying to be a smart a$$, how many of these sickness' have you had? You're working with manure everyday for all of your life. If you haven't fallen victim to any of these illness' I would say, like rrlund stated, you have a good immunity built up. I guess my point being, due to regulations and people being scared, they have become more prone to being infected by the illness' you mentioned. I agree that probably most of the huge dairy operations need to have their milk pasteurized and homogonized and I probably wouldn't want to drink their raw milk. Again, I guess the point I'm trying to make is that anyone working around cows is exposed to manure contamination on a daily basis buy don't fall victim to the sickness' you mentioned. I guess we're just toughen up to these sickness'. I never have encourage anyone to drink raw milk, it's their choice. As for myself, I want to believe it has kept me healthy all these years. Would pasteurized milk have had the same effect, possibly. One last question Bruce: Do you dip your house milk out of your bulk tank and do you pasteurize your house milk?
