That has been erradicated now & I would not hesitate to drink raw milk as long as I knew the milking practices were sanitary. When we had our dairy goats I used to make cottage cheese, ricotta, butter, and buttermilk. How I long for those days!<br />CharliAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2368819148999076470.post-4523973211837641402009-09-30T17:31:31.504-05:002009-09-30T17:31:31.504-05:00We drink the raw milk too, with no problems, and i...We drink the raw milk too, with no problems, and indeed, a lot of health benefits.

It was a fun process, and a neat thing to learn. <br />HMPatriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11257697880645849334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2368819148999076470.post-1968234438374794332009-09-30T11:06:03.313-05:002009-09-30T11:06:03.313-05:00I agree with you on USDA "standards".

I also drink raw milk though, and that's horrible unsafe according to them. <br /><br />I don't can butter, but I do make ghee for storing my butter. I like it because it's more versatile than butter and I can use the ghee in place of other refined oils. If I want to save butter (which I make my own butter from raw milk), then I freeze it.Chiot's Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05086153621579437021noreply@blogger.com
