  1. Churning

    Share Share Post
    1. We have a churn
    2. It is four feet in height
    3. We have a little bit of wood taken off the side of it so as to place the lid correctly
    4. There are more churnings made in Summer, because the cows have more milk
    5. It takes one hour to make the churning
    6. The dash is used by pounding the milk with it. When there is no butter only milk seem be seen on the dash, the butter is made.
