Pasteurization is easy even for the small producer. I raised goats for years and pasteurized the milk with a small automatic kettle. We drank the milk and it tasted great. Even with the cleanest methods of milking, it is still easy for organism's to migrate to the milk. Even just in an open container from the walk from the milking stand to the pasteurizer. Seems like a huge step backward to take the risk of sickness, even death, and the risk is greater for kids and the elderly.
