I don't remember what milk straight from the cow tastes like, siince I haven't had it since I was a very small kid. We had a cow from between the time my dad ran a dairy farm and changed to regular farming, until we moved to CA. I remember my mother taking the cream skimmed off the milk, putting it in a mason jar, & putting the lid on. She would sit in a chair and rock the jar back and forth. The butter fat would form into larger & larger lumps, which she would remove with a spoon and put into a saucer and mold into one big clump. That was how we got butter at that time. It was free except for what they fed the cow.
