I'd sometimes walk into the barn to find them cleaning a cow's udder. Germans are nothing if not meticulous.

The milk from the cows went into a vat from which it was dispensed. No contact with their equipment.

That was the only time in life I've enjoyed cow's milk. Pasteurization and homogenization have their place, but as with orange juice, once you start fucking with it, you lose why people liked it in the first place. In both cases, marketing sailed to the rescue, telling you the product was still just as good.
