In Reply to: Grade B milk posted by Mike (WA) on November 25, 2013 at 08:27:34:
For a couple of years back in the late 70s my second job was working for my neighbor, who ran a couple of trucks picking up raw milk at small dairys in north central Louisiana. I drove one of his trucks. At each stop I had to stick a thermometer in the tank and then draw samples for bacteria testing. We ran at night in order to allow the cooler tanks to lower the milk temp to an acceptable level by pick-up time.
I forget what the drop-dead temp level was that made the made the milk unacceptable for pick-up. It rarely happened, but sometimes a farmer's cooler would go bad without his realizing it.
I don't know if there was Grade A or Grade B---all I know is that when I'd finish my run I'd call the boss and let him know that I'd left a tank behind due to high temp. He'd then tell me that he'd pick it up separately during the day and haul it to the ice cream plant. Somehow that never affected my taste for ice cream, but then, I grew up in a family dairy and I watched a lot of mastitis milk drip through the strainer. You can get used to almost anything.
