  1. Churning

    Share Share Post
    We have three cows. We milk them every evening and morning. After milking we separate the milk. We churn at the end of every week. It is a barrel churn and when churning it turns end over end. It is turned by a handle which is on the side of it. The barrel is fixed on a wooden stand with two iron rollers which help the churn to turn. One end of the barrel is open. There is a lid with a rubber band and four iron hooks on it.
