How to Test Milk by Simple Cream Percentage Method
A practical guide explains a non guesswork test for milk quality. Use a tall bottle, mark 100 parts, fill with fresh milk, stand 24 hours, read cream percentage. Also test butter yield by separating 100 to 200 ounces of cream, then calculating butter from cream amount. Farmers can gain value with careful experiments without disturbing farming duties.
What is a Good Average Yield
The piece weighs opposing views on dairy profitability, noting no authority estimates 3000 pounds yearly milk and many claim 3500 pounds or more.
