    churn by a strainer and put in the butter dish and well washed with cold spring water. It is then salted and made in prints and rolls in various ways.
    There is boiling water poured into the churn during the time it is churning. It is put to about 60 degrees heat. Churning is done about twice or three times a week in Summer and once or twice in winter.
    People coming give a brash. The reason is it is an old saying if they did not do it they would take the luck of it. Buttermilk is used for making bread feeding calves, pigs, drinking etc.
