- Butter milk is used for bread and for feeding ther pigs.
Some people give milk away for nothing and it is supposed to be unlucky.
Long ago the people were supposed to be able to change themselves into hares and drink cows.
One time there was a woman and she would give away all the milk except what she had for her own use. She would have a very small churning until she was told not to give away the milk. She had a good churning ever since she was told about giving away the milk.
Some people put a mark on the butter. Some people buy a print with a flower for the butter.
