Since we recently got a Jersey milk cow to use as a nurse cow, my wife is wanting to make butter at some point.
I've heard of people talking about getting milk or cow tested, what is that and who does that? Is that advisable?
What are y'all's thoughts on using raw milk to make butter?
I have friends who used to have a dairy and they used fresh milk all the time, never bought any milk until they sold out their cows.
I'm a kind of concerned about because several years ago I got a severe case of food poisoning from unpasteurized apple cider that had been in a refrigerator that had quit working at the orchard. That on top of already having IBS/Colitis about done me in.
