I used to sit on my grandparent's back porch with a butter churn. It was a long process, but when you heard the "clunk clunk" you knew, that chore was over for the day. Grandpa had me milk the gentle cow, while he milked Old Babe. She was a bit skittish. He had to carry the milk bucket for me up the hill, it was too heavy. I do have fond memories of those times. I enjoy your videos.

I did, once. I was five years old and our teacher brought a little tub of cream to school and told our class we were going to make butter. She showed us the cream and then the tub got passed around the class and each of us had to shake it up as hard as we could. At breaktime we had buttered biscuits with our milk.

More videos like this. Using what you have off farm. What you grow. How you preserve and use in the kitchen!

What a beautiful way to describe your relationship with your cow! The bond with my sweet Lily girl is just as you describe. My husband says when he looks at me as I’m milking he sees joy and peacefulness. I love laying my face into her flank and breathing in the sweetness of her warm body. I’m blessed with a sweet gentle jersey that truly is part of our family. She gives back more than anything else on our homestead. God had me in mind when he created her. Thank you for sharing this great video. God bless y’all ❤️. Shout out! Yes we make lots of butter. Jersey cream is the BEST!

... this sounds wrong

When I laid out the plan to my Wife about how I wanted to move our family to a homestead and make our own food this is the beauty that I feel in my soul calling me there thank you!

Calf is on her 24/7 and you still get 2 gallons each morning. That's amazing !!!

Yes I have made butter, with a butter churn, and it was very tedious. I think most Americans don't get the symbiotic relationship between a cow and a human. It sounds like you do. They are very intelligent animals, and quite picky, they like some people, tolerate others, and have nothing to do with a few. People go into the market grab a gallon of milk take it to the refrigerator and think no more about it, throwing away the plastic jug afterwards, causing another huge problem that we won't get into. Most Americans have never tasted raw milk, it's illegal in my state to sell raw milk. I haven't had cows since I was young. But I liken the difference between whole milk in the grocery store and raw milk, with grape Kool-Aid and 100% grape juice. They're just a world different. Beautiful video, thanks for sharing it with us. Jimmy

I would love to see you guys make cheese with the milk🤤

I eat cheese with milk!

Sister, you were born for this life..so pleasant to observe. I learned to milk my goat with a library book in my left hand and squeeze with my right at age 21. Im now 60, still a one handed milker.

We could buy unpasteurized milk in Zambia Africa. We turned the cream into butter and cream for the strawberries and scones. We were missionaries

Oh my goodness... I remember this routine every day...nothing on this earth is better than a jersey cow and the milk, butter, cheese and yoghurt to be made and appreciated by all. Brings back some awesome memories of our Jewel and the treasure she was....thank you for that and sharing....😘😍🇦🇺

I just love that gorgeous golden bright yellow color from that beautiful homemade butter. Love it. Thank you for sharing this.

I remember visiting a friend who lived on a dairy farm. We were young girls, responsible for the families lunch; fresh vegetables and homemade bread. For dessert we would pick strawberries, dip cream off the milk, whip it up, and sweeten it for the most delicious finish to glorious meal.

loved this!! when we were little my mom would buy raw milk and have us shake the cream in jars to make butter- totally could have done it this way but i think she liked to keep us occupied/tire us out for 10 minutes 😂

Made butter an easy way once. Put cream in half a jar. Shake it hard, and in no time it starts to make butter. I'd still use a mixer! What do you wash Cece teets with?? Also, have you two ever thought about adopting? I'm over 50 and don't need much space...House trained...good with kids/ am a kid.

Hi Shaye, the butter looked so scrumptious. This was fascinating for me from start to finish. Loved it xx

I used to when I could get good raw cow's milk. I found that if I let the cream 'age' a few days and let it come up to room temp before churning (also in my kitchenaid mixer), the butter would come up in just a few minutes instead of the usual 15 or so minutes with cold cream. Then I used old cream cheese containers as my mold and storage container for the freezer.

We are blessed to have a raw dairy within 35 miles, Meadowwood farms. We make butter, whipping cream, and cheese with the yummy milk.

Another magical story about the relationship with your cow, and the wonderful gifts you receive from her. Love the way you gave a farm chore such sweet meaning.

Beautifully narrated! Would love to see more on cheese making and your preference for a buttermilk biscuit recipe

Oh boy. Butter is not something cheap you can just get from the store. I'm constantly shocked at how expensive butter is, but when I think of the work that goes into it it makes sense. Nothing beats butter though so it's worth it.

So calming, can't wait to have my own homestead. I get raw milk here in Los Angeles from the health food store from a farm in Central California. Thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful vlog.

Thanks for another wonderful episode, Shaye and Stu! Yes, I hand crank butter from cream, but only occasionally. I do not churn. I just love your perspective on things! And, yes, butter is a gift!

That butter is gorgeous! I wish I was willing to do this. Good for you and your lucky family! When my kids were young I used to buy raw milk from a guy down the road. I had an antique Daisy churn and we made butter and sour cream pancakes. Yum! They were so good!

This brought back memories, as a young girl I remember my family going to Ar ( we lived in MI) to visit my grandparents on their farm and I would go with my grandma while she milked her milk cow and then back to the farmhouse for the storing process, I would help her with standing milk that was already in the cooler with the cream on top to take the cream and put it into the churn, but I don't recall that I ever helped with the churning. I have a lot of great memories spent with my Grandma!

Love this video! Especially the part about butter being the gift to be treasured. I really enjoy your videos!

Watching your videos is better than meditating. So calming. As a young mother I milked 2 fussy Friesians and made butter. We were blessed every day by those girls, and I remember the cream was so thick and rich that it took very little to whip into butter. I agree, everything is better with butter

2:55 Video was so clear that i caught myself wanting to help milk that 4th unattended teat... anybody else? Blessings be upon Y'all's every endeavor to put back into rhyme, those things as they were first intended. 8119

You have a refreshing outlook Shaye! Really enjoy you sharing the beauty in your life. Thank you!

The BEST butter is cultured butter. I use my kefir grains to culture my cream , then whip it into butter. So unbelievably yummy! I could literally just eat it by the spoonful!

I use my corded drill with a cement mixing attachment and a plastic container with a hole in the lid for the attachment to slide through so I can get high speed churning. Works great.

I've always said, the family milk cow is the 🌟 of the farm❤I also leave the calf on and boy, it makes a huge difference in everyone's life, including the cow! Cows LOVE their babies, just like we do, and it's important, at least I think so, in her emotional health. My gal, Sweetie, is all about business, not a "loving" cow and that's fine with me. We each have a job, give each other a hi and bye, and carry on with our days. I love making butter, cheeses and having fresh cream for all kinds of goodies, but mainly to put in a great cup of coffee!!

That butter is the most beautiful butter I’ve ever seen 😍

What a beautiful way to showcase the valuable milk cow. On our farm I believe, that our milk cow is the center spoke for providing wonderful milk for all of our farm animals and our family! I love how you share your farm life with us!

I used to watch my grandma churn butter in a tall crock with a paddle she pumped up and down. Made the most rhythmic, soothing sound...and we would eat that butter on biscuits she baked in her old woodstove. Loved this video and i absolutely adore your gorgeous hollyhocks! There were hollyhocks growing along the end of our woodshed when I was a girl. Thank you!

This is my favorite video you have made by far!

I have never seen butter such a vibrant yellow!!

My friend told about a tip. You get a paint stirring attachment for a drill and in far less time then your mixer. My personal tip is to not use your husband's drill. His drill is dirty and makes the butter dirty. Lol

Beautifully told, I enjoy your story telling style of vlogging 💜

I don't often comment, but just wanted to say I have watched every video you've made and this is one of my favorites. Thanks for doing what you do and sharing it with us, Shaye. You're inspiring!

Oh dear !!! I will never look at butter the same way as I did before. I'll treasure it and enjoy it much more. Thank you for this beautiful video.

I was playing with tiny toy cows with my 4 1/2 year old granddaughter when I asked her if she wanted to see a video about milking cows. She had just had some hot chocolate with raw milk from the store. We loved watching this video and seeing a little of your farm. The butter making is an added treat to watch. It is such a golden yellow delicious color. YUM! Thank you for sharing!

Such a beautiful farm! I milk Nigerian Dwarf goats every day and I couldn’t agree with the sentiment of this video any more. Love watching your farm evolve ❤️❤️❤️

There’s nothing better than just baked bread and fresh butter. When our kids were home we bought raw milk from a friend. I would make butter and on bread making days the kids would line up for a piece of warm bread and butter. Cherish those memories. Thank you for another great vlog.

Beautiful butter! Enjoyed the visit to your morning routine. Thanks!

So true. It's cheap now. Butter made fresh like this is gold and tastes just as rich as it. Everything "replaced" by homemade just doesn't compare.

My fave video in recent memory, Shaye! Telling the story with such a deep, personal connection helps people understand the value and importance of simple, quality food. Love your channel-keep up the good work!

Reminds me of being a kid again. There is nothing like home made butter and cheese!

I watch all your videos like a tv series. Such inspiration and knowledge of what you put across to us. So happy your sharing your every day life on the farm. Always look forward to your next video guys 🙂🙂

Oh man, I can not wait to do so with our goats. I am lactose intolerant, can't even handle the raw cow's milk or the A2 stuff. We chose goats that have more butterfat in their milk. It may take longer but I'm happy that we'll be able to take those two ingredients off our shopping list. I think however, we may try for a cow later on once we have the space. I'd love to have a Guernsey cow with the golden milk.

@@adier1234 Yeah thanks for your opinion BUT it was unnecessary. Obviously, I am aware that there is a difference between the two otherwise I would not have said. Lastly, I said what I said because for ME AND ME ALONE, goats milk does not bother me. Go away.

I have never made butter, but my grandmother would mention that she would make it. At the time they lived in the mountains of West Virginia. I live in the city here in Virginia and cannot have a cow here so if we want butter we have to buy it at the grocery store. Trust me, it is not cheap in the city. Had to laugh, beautiful woman in a skirt milking a cow.

I was raised on a farm in Iowa. We milked cows , Separated the cream , But we pasteurized. We used the cream on everything. But never made butter. It was very interesting. And brought me back to having to go out to the parlor and wash the separator. I hated that job. We sold milk so the parts to the machine had to be clean. Farming is a lot of work. Your joy out of it is nice. Joyce

Beautiful! And yes, I have an old glass and wood crank butter churn that we have really enjoyed using with our children, the neighbor kids. For my youngest daughter's 2nd birthday party, as a little activity, we churned and spread the butter on homemade croissants that the kids got to bake (tea party theme) along with jam we made from our crab apple tree. I've definitely learned the hard way that you need to rinse the butter. This was a wonderful video. Very envious of your raw milk supply and freezer of gorgeous butter balls!

We use to get raw milk from a neighbor growing up and made butter using a churn. Didn't appreciate it enough as a child. Sure would love it now...especially with my kitchen aid on hand. Our land can't sustain a milking cow, but we have an alpine goat, Molly. She gives us delicious milk. I miss not being able to make butter, but instead I make yogurt and chevre. Love your video. I hope your back is better. Blessings from a Whidbey Islander.

Beautiful video and beautiful told story. Thank you sharing your life with us. The filming is amazing. I would love to see how you make your farm cheese.

That butter looks spectacular 😋

What beautiful butter Cece gives you! Looks so good!! ❤️❤️

Can't get over how beautifully yellow color of the butter.

Now that is a fantastic way to make butter. Lucky you for having a Jersey cow to have that great milk , cream etal...

Wow! Beautifully done! Thank you.

Good morning I enjoyed every thing about your Jersey cow milking I took a walk with you to the milking area and back oh what Joy thank you I'm back home recuperating it's so good to be alive

i started consuming raw milk products just a couple years ago. and now I cant live without it. i feel so nourished and hydrated with it

that was the most beautiful butter I think I have ever seen!!! bright yellow vibrant and delicious looking!!! you are right, it is a gift...wow...in awe right now! =)

I made goat butter recently. Hand skimmed the cream and then made it in my mixer. But it really took a long time before I realized it had made because it was harder to see being as it was white and my mixer made it kind of like whipped butter. I want a jersey cow so bad though. Real butter!! Every now and then for fun I will get the kids some cream from the store, put it in a mason jar and let them shake some butter up. They love it. I remember sitting on my friends picnic table as a kid and doing the same shaking, taking turns to rest our arms. Some day.....

Love this clip its tranquil and brings us back to the roots of nature.

Everyone loves a good love story! Thank you ☺️

The amazing smell of the butter ...I once had it ..it was amazing.

Loved this Shaye. We are about to start doing this very same thing and I’m nervous but so thankful already

Very helpful! Thank you very much. I always wondered why butter was rinsed and you answered my question.

The color of butter is so yellow ... I love it. Must be very delicious.

My favorite video yet of yours!

Love this video so much. The toy tractor outside made me smile.

Lovely video as always. We still do butter by ✋. Oh boy do we ever appreciate all the products of cream now that we make it ourselves! I will never take sour cream for granted again. It takes days to stockpile enough cream for a hearty portion of whipped cream, ice cream, etc.

I grew up doing this I live 100% different now but I straining the milk in 5gal buckets with dish towels then going to get water from the well with buckets and rope then doing butter in jars

Thanks for sharing this ! I have never seen the milking process ever until now. I would die for raw cow milk

Love love love this video! Beautiful and thoughtful, and gorgeous,as always! Thanks for taking us along for your morning ❤️ and That butter! Delish! I tried it once, also in a kitchen aid and it was okay, I think being a while back my cream wasn’t of the highest quality :(

Olive oil and sea salt adds a great taste to the butter. Thank you for sharing!

Great video! Love raw butter, especially Jersey! You should try not rinsing the buttermilk all out sometimes--with refrigeration, it lasts around a month even with the buttermilk in it! It adds a dimension of flavor that I like better than washed butter. Keep up the awesome work!

what a sweet girl she is and such a nice video to watch as always !

I love it! Perfectly said.

So golden yellow. Absolutely beautiful. Great video💖

I'm breastfeeding my first child right now and I just keep thinking how it's the SAME and my milk separates too xD Beautiful though! This practice seems like it teaches the dance between responsibility and freedom.

Wow! I have to say that looked good. I love goats butter. Can't have cow's dairy but that said I've never tried raw milk or raw butter but I'd love to. CC must get a lot of relief from milking. She looked so heavy with milk practically waddling 😄 dear CC. She's precious. I love these animals that God created and gives us charge over they are so precious. 😊

This is a beautiful video. Thank you!

I agree, butter is my favorite ingredient!

One way to make it easy to take the cream off is to put the milk in those big jars with a spigot on the bottom . Just drain until you leave as much cream on the milk as you like.

This video was so therapeutic to watch.

I loved watching this process. ~Smile!

How did you make your walk in cooler? How many days does it take for the cream to separate? What happens to the bottom part of the milk in the jar?

I remember eating in a farm to table restaurant when these kind of things were starting then, they served this mushy butter that was made from the cow's milk in their farm and the story behind making. They gave me the cow's name, and said that the cow has become thin from daily produce of cheese and butter😁I am not sure whether to believe or not because the crew were trained to be story tellers but i remember it so vividly when i saw this episode.

I love how you are looking all cute in your dress and boots going out to milk. I’m usually milking in my PJs in the morning or I’m all sweaty and dirty from farm work 😂 I’d be fixing up though if I was going to film it 😉 We tag team too. I milk the right side and one of the kids milk the left (they take turns). It takes about 20min start to finish. We have a all natural, grassfed only Jersey girl but man I wish her teats were as long as your girls!!! It would make handmilking easier!

YES!! a thousand times!!

I saw somewhere online a lady who separated the cream off the top with a clear flexible plastic tube siphon style.

Another beautiful video! ❤️

Wonderful video! Thanks for sharing!

Yep, i made butter once but was only supposed to make whipped cream, oops

I was telling a friend a story today about that! That's how I ended up here, so I could send them a video to explain how it all works. I called my mom in tears because my beautiful "from scratch" whip cream needed for a desert, turned lumpy & thick. My mom laughed & said "honey you whipped too much and made butter"!

This is the most beautiful cow and milk video that I have seen, and I have see QUITE a lot.

Anyone that's ever had real butter knows how good it is!!
