This mirrors my family's experience with buying raw milk on the
informal/illegal market. The milk was great one time and goaty the next.
Once the milk had traces of hay in the jar. That was the last of the milk
purchase from that source. At least with goat milk there is a definite taste
indicator that the milk is not handled properly. We decided to not risk
getting the raw milk since we couldn't be certain it was well taken care of
even though the source came recommended by some respected friends. We solved
our problem by buying our own goats. We are fanatics about cleanliness with
the milk and all of our milking equipment. If there is any doubt about the
milk we throw it out. The dogs and cats love it. We always have more than we
can use.

When I found a source for some (illegal) raw goat milk, I wasn't really
sure how
clean it was and it tasted goaty. After I discussed this with someone who
used to keep goats, it turned out that the plastic milking pail (read old
white container that some grain came in) was a very bad idea because
bacteria can hide in the plastic. This made me wonder if I was risking my
health by consuming the raw milk and I went back to store-bought junk
