Churning  [duchas:5025559]

Our churn is round in shape. It holds seven gallons. It has a handle on the side of the churn. There are beaters in our churn. We churn about twice a week in the winter and once in the summer. Our churn is about three years old. Mother churns and makes the butter. When any person comes in they churn a bit.
