Butter Quality Tied to Cow Health and Proper Churning
A note from Ohio Agricultural College Professor Oscar Erf outlines that butter quality depends on cow health and careful handling from milking to delivery. Rapid fat extraction, fresh milk, and clean processes improve keeping quality. Jersey cattle and Glenada's Champion are highlighted as prime dairy stock with emphasis on daily churning and keeping cream under five days.

Butter Quality Tied to Animal Health and Feeding Practices
An abnormal udder and bodily injuries can degrade butter through altered milk flavor and texture. Feed mixtures influence fat texture and taste, with cottonseed products producing a tallowy butter if overused, while linseed meal and grass raise softness and oiliness. A sanitary stable and controlled cream processing at 148 degrees for 30 minutes, then cooling, are needed for uniform quality.
Mares Produce Profit From Ohio Farm Horses
An Ohio farmer explains that all his farm horses are mares that produce colts for market. He says three year old draft colts cost under 70 dollars to raise and sell for 200 to 300, while a few purebreds fetch 300 to 500. Each mare also performs regular farm work, so mare costs aren’t charged separately.
