  1. We have a churn at home. It is a very big churn and my father and I churn.
    The colour of our churn is brown and there are hoops around it, to keep the wooden sides together. If a person comes in to our houses when we are churning my mammy tells them to churn, because if they did not take a dash, we would not have any luck on the butter.
    When the butter is separated from the milk we know that the churning is finished.
