I cut both calves off last night and got 3 gallons this morning off of her and didn't fully milk her out.
I ended up at Sam's Club and bought 4 of those gallon jars of pickles in the glass jars. Dumped the pickles and washed and bleached the jars and lids. They work great. I put wax paper between the lids and the milk. The lids always have the smell of pickles.
I have boxes of the nitrile gloves. I use them when ever I handle the milk. As soon as I walk in the house I wash my hands and the gloves go on.
Before I got a stainless steel milk strainer I used a regular hand held strainer lined with 4 milk filters. To make then form to the curve of the strainer I would dip the filters in the milk.
I wash everything in 50-50 bleach solution and hot water.
