[QUOTE="la4angus, post: 27530, member: 132"] [If you are planning to use the milk for your family, there is a way to pasturize the milk using a double boiler, but I'm not sure how that works. I'd suggest buying the pasturizer if it isn't too expensive. If your cow is like my two, you'll have PLENTY of milk. I just dried one of my girls off about 2 wks ago. I sold her calf in Nov (he was a year old) and she was still giving around 4 gallons of milk a day with only one milking. If I'd milked twice a day (as should be done) she'd probably have doubled that amount. We personally don't use the milk for ourselves. I make butter once in a while, but am the only one that will eat it. I bought a couple of calves to bottle feed the milk to. They did fine on her milk and are doing well now that they've been weaned.
