- There are handles on the sides of the churn. The churning is done by hand. When the churning is finished the butter is taken off the milk and made up into pound weights, and sold in the market. The churn is put together with hoops. Sometimes strangers come to help at the churning and bring home butter-milk with them. When the butter is taken out of the churn it is put into a basin, salted and washed.
