I Remember

Milking Chores

Richal brought the milk home to be processed for churning in an upright wooden churn. His three sisters churned the milk for buttermilk and butter for home use. The excess was sold for profit.

The cow’s name was Bessie. We no longer have Bessie, but still have beef cows on the farm.
