Weird Milk Taste?

[CageFreeFamily]

It's never happened before, and I've never tasted anything like this before in any raw milk, but one of our does gave some nasty tasting milk this morning.

It's hard to explain, but it almost tasted like barn... hayish, green, a little funk, but not goaty or sour. The milking area is clean, the bucket and strainer are stainless and are always run through the dishwasher. She's always rubbed down then her teats and udder are washed before milking. The milk gets strained into a glass jar and put in the freezer for one hour before moving to the fridge.

Thoughts?

What would cause that? Every other drop of milk she has ever given has been sweet and perfect. Her supply has been increasing over the past week so that she's nearly doubled what she was giving us before, but the only change is that she's on her third or fourth week of Replamin Plus.

She gets free access to hay/alfalfa mix, grain at both milkings, BOSS, and free ranges on the front and back meadows.

I haven't heard enough about the replamin. My first thought is that she is eating something out there when she browses that is throwing the taste off.

Our wild onions and wild garlic are growing like gangbusters. Maybe that?

Salty would be the start of mastitis.

Mine have been on Replamin Plus since August. I don't think it's that.

Did you remember to milk out the first couple of squirts of milk before milking into your container?

I think she found something to eat, too. There are several weeds that can make milk taste off. Our browse is becoming more limited and we occasionally get an "off" day's milk. Do watch her, etc, but see if it doesn't clear up (or watch for what plant she's suddenly decided she really likes LOL)

Hmm, she did gain access to the summer garden area this week since it is done now. We always give the first squirts to fill the cat bowl, so it's not that.
Today when I had some it tasted okay, but then a couple of minutes later I started breathing the nasty taste and getting it in my nose. It's really bizarre, and nasty.

Dh says that she has a tiny lump about halfway down one of her teats. It does not seem to bother her. He massages it and says that it is a tiny bit smaller after milking and feels like firm tissue.
Plugged duct??

That lump needs to be milked out.
