For people who have never seen a cow I’ll explain:
Cows are covered in cow s**t. All the time. Even clean cows who get bathed regularly have cow s**t on them. But listen to me. Normal dairy cows are not getting baths. They have cows**t on them, the splash back from their cows**t gets on udders. So does cow urine. Also listen mud gets on cow udders, cow hair, bugs, and other nasties will get in the milk. But most importantly: cow s**t. There is so much cow s**t involved with cows even in the cleanest and healthiest dairies. Cows s**t a LOT. Also for some reason cows like to lie down in cows**t. You will have a whole pasture with no cows**t and they will find the most disgusting pile of cows**t you’ve ever had the misfortune to smell and they lie right in it.
When cows were milked by hand this was a problem- when cows are milked with machinery this is a problem. Cows are animals and they s**t. A lot. And it’s going to get into the milk. And listen. You do not want to drink cow s**t germs in milk. And milk can be filtered all you want and it is- but germs? gotta cook those fu***rs out. So you don’t get sick from the cows**t.
TLRD: cow s**t.
