From Udder to Butter!.. I've been raising dairy animals for 8 years, but even when it's a little animal like my goats, the milk adds up IN A HURRY. My favorite way to use up the milk is by making butter. In this video I go all the way from milking the cow, to the end product, DELICIOUS BUTTER. Plus, lots of other cool facts about butter too, like how it could help with depression.

Are you making butter from refrigerated cream or allowing it to rise to room temperature. The difference is 3 minutes vs 30. (Glad you mentioned ricotta as it was not mentioned within the course outline.)

[@AnneofAllTrades]

@@benjaminbrewer2154 I mentioned in the video that it's important to wait until the butter comes up to room temperature for that very reason ;)

Easily, have an inflammatory condition effected by dairy 🤣fun fact, cheese and crack work on the same receptors in the brain.

Next step: Make Ghee, which has a longer shelf-life & higher smoke point (fantastic if you're cooking with cast iron cookware). Plus, you can store ghee in a mason jar. I love your sense of humor, Anne. ❤️

I grew up on a diary farm where the majority of the cows were holstiens for the volume but we kept 2-4 jersey cows for the cream/fat content. Mom would make butter, buttermilk and cream for the coffee.3 things one did not mess with was Mom's pepsi, bacon grease, and the jersey cows, lol Home made butter is hard to beat. Love this and all your other videos.

[@davidneel8327]

Growing upon a very small farm, 4.25 acres, we had a Jersey dairy cow and made butter into 1 lbs blocks. We had a separator to process the milk.

[@aroundthefarmcrafts3192]

Hi Anne! I have a tip for you, I also use my KitchenAid mixer as my butter churn and used to just hang the towel over it to help contain the mess. But did you know that KitchenAid makes rigid dust covers for their bowls with a cup shaped indent so that you can have the dust cover on while it's being stored on the mixer. I ended up with a couple extra of the dust covers so I cut off the cupped part in the middle and now have a shield that snaps tightly into the bowl while I run the mixer to whisk my cream into butter. This greatly reduces the amount of space that cream or buttermilk droplets can escape. I sometimes will still hang a towel over the mixer too, but having this shield in place has made a big difference to me on the amount of mess I make when I make my butter. If this description doesn't make sense let me know, I can make a video or take a picture.

[@stevetyler3016]

You are a sweet old soul !!! Your time, thoughtfulness and hard work is Greatly Appreciated I bet !!!!

[@joannep5974]

I love your channel. Just a quick thought I had while you were rinsing and squeezing. Have you considered giving homeschool classes while your trade school is not yet finished. I can guarantee the kids would learn and you could have that milk turned into cheese very quickly with a group of kids and teens. I had taught our homeschool co-op how to make butter with the jar method one year and had requests for several more years afterward. Plus they paid for the classes.

[@RobertBrown-vm9gu]

As I watched this I thought about my homeschooling grandkids in Fayetteville TN and how much they would enjoy your farm and your knowledge. You're a natural teacher. Every thought about a TN/ Fed grant for educational purposes like The Farm over in Pegram?

[@gwash1]

We used to buy raw milk in 1 gallon glass jars from a farmer with a very small herd. Rather than skim the cream, we used a food grade polyethylene tube to siphon the milk from under the cream. Since the jars and hose were both clear, it was very easy to see when to stop. And like you, we made butter with the Kitchenaid, but we used the paddle rather than the whisk.

[@WholesomeRoots]

I can't wait to make fresh raw butter from our Mini Jersey Heifer. I'm looking to breed her in the next couple of months. I have done goat butter and store bought cream butter but I have a feeling Jersey butter will be my favorite 😍

[@drbrickner]

My grand parents had a small dairy in a small village in Wisconsin. They had a dozen or so Jersey cows. My Dad and Mom ran the dairy from 1938 until 1944 when my uncle took over. The milk was highly prized for its gloriously high cream content. I remember the milk being a shade of gold even when still whole. They had a hand cranked separator in the basement of our house which mom cranked everyday before delivering the milk and cream around town. Mom and Dad moved to a farm “out of town” and acquired a larger herd of Holsteins when I was four. The Jersey dairy survived until just after the war when pasturing was mandated. We did have a hand cranked butter churn for our own use during the war when butter was rationed.

[@drbrickner]

Should say “pasteurizing”

[@sallyeblen7032]

[@xenomorph_lv-4262]

Another reason they dye butter butter, starting way back when, was that the color changes with the feed/seasons. Dying it to look the same year-round helped sales. Have you ever heard a kid that thought milk with a different color cap tasted "yucky"? Same principle. (I'm going to say "kids", not adults!)...................

[@AnneofAllTrades]

My mom made butter from the cream skimmed off the milk my grandma would give us. When my sons were little, we started a Thanksgiving tradition of a "race" to make butter. I would put about a cup of (store bought) whipping cream into a pint jar. I'd let it get to room temp and then they would shake it until it was butter. Fast forward about 40 years and we are still having that contest, now including our 4 grandkids. About 15 years ago, I decided our sons no longer would want to have that contest, so I didn't buy the cream. There was a huge protest. This last Thanksgiving our older son made butter in about 45 seconds.

Yes!!! Making butter brings back so many memories. Growing up we had a Jersey cow that < as you know, gives half-and half. We fed our "skim" milk to the chickens (after it clabbered). With five kids my parents didn't waste much. Every time I was to make whipped cream, for cream puffs or whatever, I made butter with the first batch! Real butter is sssooo gooood on homemade bread with homemade jam! Actually, it is good on just about anything! You bring back fond memories of yesteryear to this 78 year old man. Thanks!!!

@@AnneofAllTrades my husband does that cost analysis on EVERYTHING! 😛. I guess he’s used to doing it for his customers to see payoff time for equipment. But it sure is annoying for him to tell me I’m never saving money by doing/growing things myself. I’m glad I’m not the only one who has someone like that in my life. Thanks for sharing & for all the humor!

[@AnneofAllTrades]

I actually really appreciate knowing the cost of things, and funnily, I was the one who provided Dad with that data, because I was really curious. Knowing what things cost is just another data point we can use to decide whether or not something is "worth it" to keep doing. For me, the routine the cows provide for me is far more valuable than the butter I could ever make, because it's part of what helps me show up to work and be my best self and actually be able to make the money it takes to keep everything around here going, including keeping the cows fed. But running a cost analysis for selling eggs gave me easy data to say it wasn't worth it to sell the eggs the way I was doing it, because I hate chickens, so having extra chickens just so I could sell eggs, when the eggs weren't making enough money to make it worth the trouble of the extra chickens? Easy decision.

[@johnstone7763]

Great video! If I was your publisher, I'd encourage you to write the "$82 stick of butter". Maybe you've heard of the "$64 Tomato", funny book about how the author 'nearly lost his sanity, spent a fortune and endured an existential crisis". People who only grow turfgrass need to wake up about the costs, labor involved in food production!

[@AnneofAllTrades]

I have been working on writing my own version of that book for a while. It’s true of so many aspects of farming.

[@roamingelk7271]

If you pour the milk into a big sun tea jug with a spout on the bottom, you can then drain most of the milk and leave almost all cream in the jug to use for butter. Or whipped cream or an indulgent cup of coffee.

[@AnneofAllTrades]

Interesting. That doesn’t create a whirlpool effect when draining and mix the fat with the milk above?

[@roamingelk7271]

@@AnneofAllTrades Take it slow and easy. If you do seem to get it mixing you could let it sit for a bit after removing most of the milk. It's not 100% due to the spout being an inch or so from the bottom, but a very gentle tilt of the jug helps. Might be a little easier than scooping. But everyone has different ways to complete the same task. Just sharing an idea.

Such an interesting video! I read a book called: The 64 Dollar Tomato. The author did a similar calculation (as the one your father did for your butter) for a tomato from his garden (I seem to remember he had a particularly difficult growing season). However, once you have the system set up each pound of butter should get less expensive. May be a graph could illustrate this! And did he discount money saved by cows being very good therapy!

Always fun to watch. You're living my dream right now. FYI in the early 1900's they found that they could make cheddar even after removing most of the fat, but the cheese looked pale in color. To "fool" the customer, or hide that it had been made with less fat; they would add other ingredients to make it look as it should. Often the extra ingredients would make consumers sick. This is one of the practices that spurred the creation of the FDA. I would love to site my reference here but I do not recall. Likely came from a program on the History Channel. Still wanting to get out there and make some pizza for you and Adam.

Loved the Whip it Good comment. I just read that a plastic shield is available, but I like the tools and stuff I make. If you took a cheap plastic bowl and trimmed it to the diameter of your mixing bowl, it would seem that you could cut a hole to exactly fit your mixer to use instead of a towel. Or perhaps a bowl cover with a hole for the beater. You would have to install it before attaching the beater. It would be easier to clean instead of the towel and you could scrape the butter to use. I'm sure the cats or a dog would clean the cover for you.

Wow. I have wanted homemade butter from milk that is fresh. I haven’t had it in 40 years. The closest I’ve found is Amish butter from the grocery store

Not sure if I'll ever get my hands on enough raw milk to try this, but if I do, it seems like a great project!

[@AnneofAllTrades]

You can also make it with grocery store heavy cream :)

Anne if I have a party and obviously you'd be invited would you bring me some of your butter to try??? If you say yes I shall have a party 🥳, but I have to say I'm over In the UK but I'm sure you will be fine and able to make it. As always Anne 💯% 👍 🇬🇧.
