I was raised on a farm, we milked by hand, but we always washed the teats before milking. We drank the milk all the time and no one got sick from it. I've visited modern dairy farms recently and they wash the cow's teats before putting the milkers on. I have a feeling that you have never been up close to any dairy farm.

Agreed. I spent my summers on my uncles dairy farm. We washed the teats prior to putting the vacuum milkers on, and we washed the teat cups regularly. My aunt always took a one gallon stainless pitcher full of milk straight from the milker, right into the fridge. In the morning she would scoop off an inch of butterfat. It was like drinking Breyers vanilla ice cream it was that good. People have no idea how good it is.
Never got sick

We would scoop off the cream too and churn it into butter in a glass butter churn. I was the horsepower for the churn, lol.

How many were you milking by hand?

Usually six cows, I'd milk two and my dad would milk four. Sometimes my mom would come out and milk one, she had a funny way of milking, she would put her thumb along side the teat and grab it along with her thumb.
