You can, but interestingly enough most cases of dairy food poisoning is due to after pasteurization contamination. Pasteurization is more or less required due to the industrial scale of dairy production; the mixing of milk from multiple herds. One sick cow or dirty udder would contaminate 10's of thousands of gallons. Small scale operations like Amish and Euro cheesemakers can and do take good care of their cows else the biz is destroyed

My family's dairy farm had the family herd and the production herd. They were different breeds of cows and they were handled differently. They didn't share the same pasture as the commercial cows and I remember them being milked by hand. I think there were 2 or 3 at any one time. I was told they had much higher fat content and we drank the raw product from them as well as made butter and cream. I don't remember them making cheese. It did not go through the commercial production auto milkers, chillers and the like.

I grew up near 2 dairy farms, and was friends with their kids so spent lots of time at both....But I remember a "milk shortage" or something in the mid 70's where the prices skyrocketed on milk. I remember my mom bought powdered milk once and tried passing it off as real milk. Hell no!! They did start getting raw milk from the local farms...my mom grew up on a dairy farm so she was ok with it, and we did that for a few years til prices went back down.
I still drink a big glass of whole milk with dinner every night, usually with chocolate syrup! :hump:
