I think it's stupid, but some of my behaviors seem stupid to others: I worship an invisible deity. Some people get carbon pushed into their skin. Other people change their sex by modifying body parts.

We should be free to do (generally) whatever the heck we want to do.

You are free to consume raw milk. You are not free to sell it to others. This seems reasonable to me - same as most food safety regulations.

Can sell it soon in West Virginia.

Looks like in 2016 it was only available through a herdshare thing. Not really sure what that is. I guess that's how the delegate in the original article got it.

Herd share is just shared ownership of a herd. Usually used as an end-around regulations on milk and meat production (as a co-owner of the livestock, you can consume whatever you want without regulation).
