Up here in Scotland you cannot buy/sell unpasteurised milk for human consumption.

I'm pretty sure we can't here in England either - all of my goats milk goes into my soaps, children, chickens and yorkshire pud's currently! you might have to buy it pasturised?

I think you can only buy unpasteurised for consumption by dogs and cats.  My vet told me it was important that I pasteurise our goats milk before drinking .......he muttered about TB etc.
