What if the cow gets sick?
Remember, a mother’s milk very carefully protects and nourishes her baby. The same is true with cows. The myths that started pasteurization were based on the milk being contaminated after it left the cow and sick people doing the milking. Those infections that can get transferred to the udder are very few and very rare. All of them make the cow obviously ill and the milk stops being used. Cows are also immunized against them by responsible dairies offering healthy milk. We rarely need a conventional vet. We’ve found we can usually treat any problems with homeopathy, herbs, and common sense old fashioned remedies.
