Not everything is pasteurized. If you do a search for local farms you may be able to find some. I know it's illegal in some states but in others you can find it fairly easily.
Contact a local dairy farmer and see about buying some fresh milk.
Thank you. That helps me out big time. I will try out this recipe over the weekend. I have no idea how to put this together. My grandmothers were a pinch of this or that, types. I am like that too, however when it comes to cake I want to get it right. 
Amen to what's been said. Isn't if funny how words and meaning change over the years.

I know several of my grandmother's recipes have 'sweet milk' in them...and I also know it means regular milk because I asked her once about it a LONG time ago. You might also think Half n Half, because milk straight from the cows still has the cream in it.
I grew up having blue and white milk on my cereal. Our cows were fed alfalfa hay which turned it blue and the cream gave it white swirls. I've been slowly making my way through some old recipes I found and one of them calls for "drippings". What's sad is that I know what that is. 
We have an organic farm in our area that sells milk that goes through low temp pasteurization. These products are what I use. They are thicker and creamier than grocery store products. I actually have to shake the bottle to get the heavy cream out. Google your area and see if you can find products that are closer to the originals.
Sweet milk is just whole milk. But if you want it raw, then you have to get it from a farm.
