You wasted a lot of feed if you gave them enough keep them occupied long enough to have time to milk through two cows.
Did you make sweet or sour cream butter?
No butter made on the farm during my era. For several years we bought butter from the truck driver that picked up our canned milk.
I had a canned milk pick-up route for a couple of years and delivered butter and cheese from the route while loading the cans of milk from the cooling tanks. Like working on our farm, loading milk cans built muscle and character, and probably contributed to my bad back now!!
Take your kids and your grand kids huntin' and shootin'.
