Organic cow milk doesn't stay drinkable for months.

That's not the same thing. That's long life milk. It's pasteurised. It's not fresh milk. You can just buy non organic long life with the exact same shelf life. It being organic has nothing to do with its expiry date.

I think once you open them the good by date isn't used anymore

How about buying small quantities of shelf stable milk?

Incredibly important to know: The date is valid when unopened. Opened will last less than 2 weeks.

My experience is that organic, ultra pasteurized milk lasts a really long time, even after it’s open. Like weeks and weeks. And it tastes better. Same applies to A2 milk. I’m with OP on this one.

Someone doesn't understand the fundamental difference between "organic" and plain old pasteurisation.

Well, this isn't plain old pasteurisation it's UHT pasteurisation. Shorter time, much higher temperature, maybe some other differences? It slightly scalds the more sensitive parts of the milk so some people don't like it. But it does have the advantage of making the milk shelf-stable which can be really great.

Yeah op I think you mean Almond or soy milk? Milk being organic doesn't make it last longer.

Open it then see how long it lasts. Not the same as Sell By (never opened). This might help you understand the differences.

If it is always going bad, you're not drinking enough fast enough. Buy smaller container sizes more often.
