Guest guest Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 seems like just bad contaminated milk. If the miilk is pooled together it will all be the same. but that jug could have been from a mastitis cow Mucousy milk? Hi, I have a friend who purchased some raw milk from a local farmer. She (my friend) is fairly new to raw milk, so she was surprised to find that one of her gallons was very " mucousy " (her description.) She had toured the farm, milking parlor, etc., and was really impressed with their cleanliness. They bought three gallons of milk. The first was fine, they drank it in about two days. Then they opened the second, and here is her description: <<It was runnier, like the kind of snot you get from a toddler's nose - that one that's just elastic as hell, and you can stretch it all over the place, but not seem to get it out. The *whole* gallon was like that. It didn't even separate. The clearish bits were nominal - for the most part, it was all milky in color. Until it got thin enough. (*gag*) At first, I'd thought perhaps the cream had just thickened up so much at the top, that it wasn't mixing back in, so we shook it more, squeezed some out of the gallon, shook it again, and then poured the entire thing into another one gallon container. And it was all of that texture, all the way to the bottom.>> Anyone have an idea as to why the milk would be like that? She baked with some of that milk, but ended up tossing the rest. It was obviously undrinkable. Thanks! -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 Ugh. No idea what is wrong, I am just a consumer myself, but if I were her I would have called the farmer and then maybe taken it back for him to see, depending on what he said.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 I'd say Mastitis, but could also be contamination. No matter what it was she positively needs to contact the farmer asap. If he is responsible as he should be............ he will want to find out what the problem was and 'fix' it. Hi,I have a friend who purchased some raw milk from a local farmer.
