t was one of those days, I needed to skim 5 gallons of milk to make butter. Oh no wait, I needed to skim 5 gallons of milk to make room in the refrigerator for the evening milking. (Jane is currently at 3 gallons a day but it adds up fast when you need room for food in said refrigerator too.) Oh no wait, before I skim those gallons of milk, I need to wash out the 20 quart stock pot so I have somewhere to put the 5 gallons of skim milk. Oh no wait, before I wrestle that stockpot into the sink I need to wash the breakfast and lunch dishes. It’s not the milking that takes so much time really with a dairy cow, it is the washing of all the minutiae that goes with home dairy. Buckets, straining cloths, jars, churns, colanders, and stockpots. Thank heavens…
