Whenever mine gets like that, I leave it completely uncovered at room

temp in a gallon glass jar for about a day, and the stink goes away.

I talked to the farmer who says that they did not have the usual

cracked corn to supplement the kelp and oats while milking. She said

that it is standard practice to offer minerals (kelp) and cracked corn

and a small amount of oats while milking and that the cows will take

what they need. So she says that without the usual cracked corn mixed

in the fish meal (kelp) would be a larger percentage of the supplement

and may cause the milk to smell taste fishy. The other thing was

though that it was sour as well, but they do go to another city for the

day and have the milk in coolers all day which may have compounded the

situation. Now is this standard practice to feed the cows cracked

corn, kelp and a small amount of oats while milking?

Thanks, Sandy
