[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1729110, member: 25884"] Have you spent much time on an actual commercial modern dairy? Yes, the udders are cleaned and teats are predipped... but sanitized thoroughly before milking? The less water used on udders and teats the less likely bacteria is spread to the teat orifice. The reason there is little to no manure or other foreign objects in the milk is because of the teat cups that are attached directly to the teats... in the "old days" milk was hand milked into buckets and so things did "fall into the milk".... Yep... you brought it in the house, strained it through a filter into bottles/jugs to put in the fridge to chill. There would be some hair, maybe a few pieces of straw or hay, a few little pieces of "cowchit" or some dirt, on occasion.... I always did all I could to keep the milk clean... but you wanted to milk as fast as you could. The one thing you did not want was the udder to have any wet or dripping spots.... and as I said; water is NOT a friend to a cow's udder unless you take the time to completely dry it off. That is also one of the reasons that dairies will clip or singe the hair off the udders so they collect less "dirt"... and can be more easily prepped to milk. And no... it does not hurt the cows.....
