In this video we milk our Nubian Goat (Pam) for her first time. Her kids (mini nubian goats) are only drinking out of one teat so she needs to be milked out on her other teat. #goatmilk
I have not timed how long it takes to cool down in an ice bath but I do believe it is very effective. Our goats milk is always very fresh and clean tasting with no “goatiness”. It’s very different from goat milk from the grocery store. You’re right, I generally do not pasteurize our milk. My husband and I are both microbiologists, we are very careful with our milking and cleaning protocols and have tested our milk in the lab. You can see some of the results in our farm to lab video playlist. I also test all my milking animals weekly for mastitis. We only consume milk that is 1 week old or fresher, anything older or that I don’t feel great about goes to our pigs. I do pasteurize milk that I consume while pregnant and will pasteurize any that we feed to our baby when he’s old enough for goat/cow milk. Pasteurization is a good thing and has done wonders for making commercially available food products safe to eat including milk. I don’t bother with it most of the time with my goat milk because I feel comfortable with skipping that extra step since I am in control of the milking cleanliness and animals health and we prefer the taste of raw milk.
Cool video. I saw my favorite, Starla, in the beginning of the video. I did watch the video when Pam was birthing her kids a couple of weeks ago. Not sure I'd like goat's milk; I would try it though. I don't drink cow's milk. I do use cow's milk for cooking, baking and coffee. Your kids have sure grown since this video was made...they are all beautiful!

How long it took for the milk to cool down in the fridge? You consuming it raw without pasteurization? Thank you.
