- The first buttermilk is never given away after the cow calves. The more 'beestance' that's given away after the cow calves, the more milk the cow will have. It is an old custom to tie a red rag on the cow's tail after calving to ensure that she would have plenty of butter. If you splash the milk on the lid of the churn when churning it is said you will get a drunkard for a husband.
