Betty,

when I make raw butter, it doesn't smell, are you aging it first or

something so it's souring first?

I just put fresh cream in my bosch with the wire whips and whip till

it separates, then pat and smooth it under cool running water.

Adding a little bit of salt helps the taste be more similar to

commercial.

Milk is excellent feed for chickens, when you have any extra or gone-

by milk products. Chickens need green grass or hay to have the nice

balanced nutrition and whole grains help with parasites. You can go
