I hand milked 2 to 3 cows twice daily and sold the raw milk to the local community….and seldom had enough….but when we had excess we churned our own butter and drank the buttermilk.
That was the start of a most wonderful life of freedom to build the life I wanted. It was all hard work but it was Silverngold!
