  1. Our Churn

    Share Share Post
    First the cows are milked. Then the milk is separated. When the milk is sour, it is churned. Before the milk is put in the churn, the churn is scalded.
    Then the milk is put into the churn. Then hot water is poured into the milk until it comes to a certain temperature. Then it is churned. Then the butter is taken off the churn.
    Then the butter is made into prints. The churn is a tumbling churn. When we are churning, we twist a handle. The churn is on four legs.
