In this day and age... It's just not feasible to do things like they
did a long time ago. My best advice if you want the milk like you
remember, go out and buy a cow (guernseys are better than jersey's,
imo.. much sweeter and gentle tempered.. Jersey's are just plain evil
to work with..) Then, go get some antibiotics for that sore throat

On a commercial scale you're right, it's generally not feasible to try
to turn back the clock.

On the home front it can be different if that's what you want. Seek
out some homesteading forums such as www.homesteadingtoday.com and
you'll find folks who are still doing just that.

When I was a teenager we drank raw milk every day for several years
and never had a problem that could be attributed to the milk. In
fact, I quite liked it and intend to go back to having it again when
we can get our personal circumstances arranged in such a way as to
allow it.

Of course, one does have to be ever so particular about sanitation and
have the animal tested for the necessary diseases.

BTW, thanks for participating in this thread. I've found it very
interesting.
