Fall and winter churning at low temperatures causes mottling in butter. In Cremitery Journal Larsen notes butter firms in cool rooms, making salt hard to distribute. Excessive working when hard drives out water, hindering salt dissolution and reducing overrun and value.
The article discusses how dairy cows vary greatly in efficiency and profitability. Some cows produce more butterfat and milk than others on the same feed, with well cared for cows earning significantly more than average cows. It notes many farmers incur losses on a portion of their herd due to feeding costs.
A claim that the Wilk machine makes milk and butter production possible with the stomach as the world’s best lab for this purpose.
The article delivers practical guidance on butter churning temperatures and timing. It cites milk quality, butter globule size, and feed as factors, recommending about 6 degrees and 30 to 45 minutes of churning.
