Question for those who use a cream separator

[lovinglife]

How is the milk after you remove the cream? Is it still yummy? My Guernsey's give a good rich milk, I think I could get a fair amount of cream from it, but I don't want to ruin the taste by removing the cream. I am going to get a separator pretty soon, I am just curious.

I milk Nubians and LOVE their whole, raw milk, but hubby is afraid his cholesterol is going to skyrocket if we consistently drink it whole. We use a cream separator and though the skimmed milk is very good, the whole is my favorite. I do prefer to use the skim for my yogurt. Strained to greek style consistency. YUM.
I like whole milk for my cheese and the cream is great for ice cream.

Good to know the milk is still good with cream removed. I want to make butter but did not want to waste all that milk, so we will just drink as usual. When you make yogurt, do you heat treat your milk first or make it raw?

thanks!
