Making butter has never been easier. Last edited on October 24, 2009. My dad purchased our first dairy cow when I was in the fourth grade. She was a Jersey cow. Jersey cattle produce the highest amount of cream, or butter fat, per any breed of cattle. With this one cow, we began our entrance into the dairy industry. Eventually, we had a fully-operational dairy farm. At one time, we had over 60 milk. Next, the cream would be ready to use to make butter.

Electric fence will keep your areas clear. Last edited on November 13, 2009. I vividly remember my first experience with electric fencing. I was in elementary school. My family had not yet begun farming as they did when I was in late middle school. I was visiting a friend from church who was several years older. We were playing in a wooded area that was surrounded by a low electric fence. This fence was erected in an effort to hold hogs in one area. Later on, my family bought our own farm.
