- We have a churn at home. It is about four feet high. It is about 48 inches round on the bottom. The sides are round. It is about twelve years old. There are no marks on the side or bottom. The butter is made twice in summer and once in winter in the week. My sister, [?] does the Churning. Sometime stranger, coming in would help with the churning. Sometimes it takes longer than others to churn whatever temperature it is. The churning is done by hand. It is rolled from side to side.
