    The butter is made twice a week in Summer, and once a week in Winter.
    The woman of the house does the churning and any strangers that come in, help in making the butter it is said that if they didn't they would have the power of 'carrying' the butter.
    When the cream gets very thick and form into grains, then the people know when the butter is made. When the butter is made it is taken out of the churn and put into a pan and washed.
