Hi! We are a homesteading family also and I am loving your videos! I always say, the star of the farm is the lovely milk cow ;) I was blessed years ago by finding a local farmer who provided great raw milk, then later we were able to get our own milk cow and that opened up a whole new world of delicious health and treats! Looking forward to her calving again in early winter, but we missed a year because she miscarried several months back. I am really enjoying your videos and finding new ideas to bring to our own homestead! Blessings, Melissa
+Stevens Sunshine Farm Hi Melissa! Yes - the milk cow is a really important member of the family around here!! We've missed a year before due to a miscarriage and ended up buying a second milk cow since we couldn't imagine going a year without!
I love how she talks to us so slowly like babies. I’m a city girl, the daughter of a really city boy and my life is pressure and expectations. I keep a garden, rabbits and chickens though bc I just love being around nature and animals. Thanks for this video :) looking into getting a mini jersey (if I can like get stables or sheds for the cow) 😘
We just got 2 LaMancha goats in milk, and get 6-7 quarts a day. 2 city guys in our family & a friend tried the milk at a party I brought some to our married daughter, and they said "it tasted no different (than cow's milk) and it was great". We like it very much too. We still talk about getting a dairy cow again, but it's much easier to have several goats so they have a friend. 2 cows is a LOT of hay & poop & pee & more space needed, such deep holes in the wet ground so was stuck in the barn more than we thought was good for her. The goats can be on pasture more of the year bcz they're easier on the grass bcz they're so small. As sweet as our cow was, we got hurt a few times, just so big & heavy. They're WAY stronger than a horse of the same size too. Shockingly stronger. It was amazing. Raised her from 6 months old. Miss her so much. Died of mastitis that the vet couldn't stop from going gangrenous. Had to put her down. Probably won't get a dairy cow again unless we can have more than 1 cow so she won't be lonely. Our cow kept escaping so she could go visit the neighbors cows a few houses over. She could hear them. I guess our horse & previous goats weren't enough for her. They like their same kind better.
oh I love this.. reminds me of my childhood grandma skimming the cream off of the milk for grandpas coffee in the mornings.. and I would get a bit for my cereal.. dang I want a time machine...
I love your videos! Thank you so so much for sharing what you know. It's so hard to know how to do some of these thing correctly, without having been brought up that way. Homesteading is our family's goal so your knowledge is so very much appreciated!
Carolyn, love,love the videos even though I am not able to do most of what you do. I am disabled now but when younger , I did everything in my power to keep going. Wish I had the land and youtube when I was younger. My life would be quite different along with the childrens lives. I would make sure of it. Hind site is truely 20-20
My Great-Grandma Gibson was such a farm lady that she could skim the cream with one swoop of a finger. How I wish I could spend time talking to her. How I wish I had all her skills!
This is described in the novel "Tess of the D'Urbervilles": "Every time she held the skimmer under the pump, to cool it for the work, her hand trembled, the ardour of his affection being so palpable..." She was trying to skim cream, but her suitor Mr. Clare was thinking about something else.
I put fresh whole goat's milk in the fridge every evening for our family's use the next day for fresh drinking & recipes. I only skim cream for us from milk that is extra beyond that, and give the skimmed milk to the chickens, cats, and a little to the dogs. The chickens freak out over milk!! They always drink it all, and I read it's so good for them. I'm just learning to use my new cream separator today. Love your family videos!!! Makes me happy.
Thank you so much! Such a beautiful and simple video and I love your kitchen. Looking forward to get back to nature and have my own cows and make my own cream!
I think what you ment to say in the very beginning is that the cream will rise to the top not the milk. Anyway, thank you for the tips. We dont own dairy animals but we have recently purchased raw cow milk from a farmer that lives a couple hours away from us. It's only available once a week and is very inconvenient especially coming into the harder winter months. Anyway, they dont sell raw cream, only pasteurized cream. I had the idea of skimming the raw cream off of the milk in order to make raw sour cream. I'm on the GAPS protocol which requires a large amount of fermented raw dairy. This is a challenge where we live.
We use a regular soup ladle for skimming cream :) Instead of scooping the way you are doing we press the ladle gently down and let the cream ease over the edges of the ladle. It is quite easy to not scoop milk out that way. :)
Dear sister in Christ, I'm a 64 year old veteran and my bride of 40 + years and I moved deep in the mt of NC/TN and you and your family are a steady diet of info for us. I found a local farmer that we get milk from and I made real butter for my beloved and she was blown away. The second batch didn't turn out as well it's still creamy, did I maybe shake it to long? or have too much cream in a jar? any tip would be a blessing I was raised on a farm but the kitchen was out of limits to me, my mom wasn't big on the smell of hogs in the house. Blessings
Even the organic companies are now putting gellan gum in their heavy cream to thicken it. Geez. I get my raw milk from an organic farm (If I can get there before the milk truck gets there LOL) and I let it sit in the fridge 48 hours and then just skim off the thickest cream for coffee or for whipping and leave the rest for drinking. But if I'm making yogurt or cheese I leave all the cream. I really enjoy your videos.
I get that really really thick skim milk in the Swiss alps...the grass is just sooooo good and cows produce amazing milk :) they get corn silage as well, a few grains in winter. But in summer up on the high alps, only alpine grass for cheese production.
Have you ever tried the bottom draining fat separator pitcher, that's normally used for separating oil or fat from broth? I buy from a local farm. It is transported in quart jars, not a half gallon or gallon jar.
Do you want to adopt a grandma during the summer? I know how to milk a cow lol, and I speak Español! I can run a crew! Well... I used to 20 years ago. Jajaja
Are you leaving your raw milk out on the counter and then harvesting the cream from the top or do you keep your milk in the refrigerator? Thank you for your video
+Deb G - No it isn't good drinking it straight - but you cant tell a bit of difference if it is baked in something... and the kids LOVE hot chocolate made with it (tastes like caramel hot chocolate!). But it totally ruins coffee...😉... love her name for it though...
Lady Bug Crafts ; That's rite; ol' Blue-John...shoot, if ya hadda lotta milk,you'd mix it with the hog-feed!! If ya ask me, them ole commercial Holsteins just give only Blue-John, right outta the tit!! Ain't wuth drinkin'!!
Lady Bug Crafts I grew up the same. The reason commercial skim milks have blue and pink caps is because back in the day, Blur Milk was only used to spread over fields or give to chickens, and Pig’s Whey (pink cap) was added to hot mash for hog farms. This is waste, not human food.
+T Nicholas Hi there... Yes she is a great milk cow... but she hardly keeps any fat for herself - the more (better quality) you feed her the more she produces and gets skinny! I just use my good old Bosch mixer with the cookie paddles and do about .5 gallons of cream at a time... Not the most efficient, but large electric butter churns are EXPENSIVE!! So we make do!
Homesteading Family have you tried the old fashioned wooden butter churns? I saw a video on Townsends here in youtube on how making butter was done during 18th century America and it was fascinating to watch.
Candee Rose Get your cream and over whip it with a electric beater or till its butter and the leftover milk is called "buttermilk"A beater isn't a must but it would take a long time but still possible
Very easy to make butter. Take the cream and mix (stir or use blender) depending on the speed you'll have to wait different periods of time for your butter to solidify.
Candee Rose in a deep Woden barrel, fill 1/3 with skimmed milk..insert 2 mice. The one who swims and swims is the little mouse that could cause he churned it to butter and jumped out.
do you perhaps have a video on all the things you can make from raw milk? like what you do with the cream, and you can make whipped cream and cream cheese, and cottage cheese, and butter, and how you keep the buttermilk and all that kind of stuff and what your process is and how you store it????
how long can you let the cream sit in the refrigerator before you make butter. can you freeze milk and then make butter? I really liked you video 😊 and what you said about milk being healthy is so true. It's even used to describe the ultimate blessing in the bible, being given a land of milk and honey. lol. i love both😍
I feel like whenever it seemed I got any milk in the cream that the cream wouldn't whip. Are you able to get it to whip even with tiny swirls of milk? I was using a much larger and deeper ladle and didn't wet it, so maybe that was my mistake. I will try skimming with a gravy ladle. I love your videos. Just discovered your channel last night. We are soul sisters. Thanks for living the dream and sharing it.
Thank you for this video 🌼 I know that we need to use raw milk for that, without boiling it or anything right? Is it safe to consume products from raw milk? I want to try it, but I'm a little confused
+Homesteading Family Even know if it's refrigerated, wasn't it really good to drink with? I thought the cream milk wasn't that good, but it smells different.
Do you ever make powdered milk? I’ve always wondered how it’s done. I use milks in the soap I make but I’d love to buy fresh milk, cream, powdered milk and so on. Love your videos!
CAROLYN I’ve never been around raw milk. 😊. If you guys are just drinking it do you skim it first and drink what is left? And do you skim after it is refrigerated? Thank you for helping us get started!!
I thought I'd let you n all ya viewers know I recently bought a new brand from kroger called homestead creamery n apparently there the only place that sales it I thought at first I had got a bad batch do to the thick layer at the top but I see know it's actually a ligit close to raw milk n thanks to ya video I know no diffrent know my question is how long will the milk b good sence there's no date like the process kind with experaction dates n bty thanks for this learned something new n most defiantly a new experience
Nice demo mam, but if you get your camera closer to the jar and show the difference of color, would be great. also need to confirm that you didn't heat the milk at all .. right? only keeping it for long time in fridge .. please advise
Hi. Love your videos. I bought a gallon ofilk from the tank from my local farmer last Saturday. Today I am skimming cream like you. Great tip with the small ladle. I am very inexperienced with fresh milk. It has different smell. That is normal? Or did I wait to many days?
+Joanna Baldwin Sounds better for you than the fully Pasteurized grain fed store bought stuff, but it is lacking the enzymes that the raw cream would have... but all in all, a step in the right direction!
Can i whip with culf milk its more "Fresher" as i thought "Fresh" cow milk is older.im sure the expert cow get the bids by exert their expressive milk better.
Do you have a video on making Kefir? I've never heard of it before or clabbered milk but your video on clabbering was very interesting. Also what do you do with the whey from your cheese making and the butter milk?
this may be a stupid question but after you skim off the cream....what do you do with the rest of the milk? can you still drink it? thank you great video
+Kelly Troup - It is great to drink (its what you drink everything you buy milk at the store!). It is still the equivalent of whole milk from the grocery store. I often make cheese with the skimmed milk, we drink it, make kefir with it or clabber it.
i know this sounds stupid, but is it possible to get the cream from a milk bought in the grocery? or is it totally homogenized that i'll need a machine to do that?
My Aunt Hazel hadda dairy and always kept one Jersey as a house-cow; I know just what you mean about that cream, I was terrible for puttin' my finger in that risen cream and just slurpin'it up straight..ol' Belle waz on grass and her cream was to die for.. Someday I'm gonna have me a cow..possibly some milk-sheep and mebbe,just mebbe, a dairy camel!! I LOVE dairyin'!!
Can someone please tell me why I get a fever since I started drinking raw milk, my milk supplier is very reliable. Basically I get fever and congested and headaches too. Thank you.
Raw milk means that you’re drinking straight from the cow, who knows if there’s any bacteria when it comes out. Leaving you vulnerable to E.Coli and salmonella
Try a different milk supplier if the same thing happens then stop drinking milk. Try A2A2 grass fed raw milk. You might have sensitivity to bacteria/microorganisms in milk
I’m so disappointed because I got a herd share and got my raw milk and waited a day to skim but it was really thin and when I tried to whip it it remained milky no whipped cream. Is it possible that the people I’m getting it from are skimming the cream themselves before selling it? Or is it possible that there are cows that really have that little cream in their milk? I’m happy to have raw milk but I had so many plans for every different part of the milk😢 P.S. I think if you have a cow you’d be swimming in cream so I don’t really think it’s possible they’d be skimming it. I don’t know how ask about it..
Okay honestly what do you do with 60 lbs of butter a month? I love butter, I could eat it on just about anything but my family could never eat that much butter. Can you sell it being that it’s unpasteurized?
Not only is it a good spread, but can be used for low heat cooking, can be used in baking, it can be frozen (as she mentioned), also, she has a large family, so I imagine they have no problem using it up.
It depends on what state you live in. Here In Indiana, you have to buy a herd share. Legally you get the milk for free (because it can't be sold), but you pay for boarding your piece of the cow. Some states are a bit more reasonable.
I recently started buying raw milk and was curious about skimming off the cream. Thank you
With an abundance like that I would be tempted to can butter in half pint jars and gift them with some muffin or bread for the holidays!

Very good demo. Your presentation and explanation very professional. Thank you very much. Fourways. Sandton. South Africa
I’ve seen your video woo many times. I’m starting a small production on my homestead and you’re incredibly helpful ❤
That’s awesome! So glad you find it helpful.
I love the cream off of fresh, raw milk! There is nothing better!
oh I love this.. reminds me of my childhood grandma skimming the cream off of the milk for grandpas coffee in the mornings.. and I would get a bit for my cereal.. dang I want a time machine...
Great video, thanks. I live in the suburbs and now i want a cow.
L B no you don’t because they have to be milked twice a day, rain or shine 365 days a year.
@@beccareul it's not that hard to milk a cow
I love your videos! Thank you so so much for sharing what you know. It's so hard to know how to do some of these thing correctly, without having been brought up that way. Homesteading is our family's goal so your knowledge is so very much appreciated!
I’m drooling. I would just sip some of that fresh cream. I’d put some in strong coffee.

Wow. Thank you for this.
I love love love your videos.... thank you for sharing them
Love the hint about wetting the spoon. Awesome videos.

Your such a WEALTH of information 💗 THANK YOU 💗 I'm LOVING your Dairy Masterclass 💗
I love your videos and tips! You are absolutely the best! God Bless you sister! I have learned so much!

Do you have a posting showing you making butter? I didn't see one looking through your list. Thanks (And thanks for the posts, pure gold!)
+aCycloneSteve Not yet... but on the list as the first dairy video I do this year once the cow freshens....
Do you want to adopt a grandma during the summer? I know how to milk a cow lol, and I speak Español! I can run a crew! Well... I used to 20 years ago. Jajaja
Are you leaving your raw milk out on the counter and then harvesting the cream from the top or do you keep your milk in the refrigerator?
Thank you for your video
My Granny called milk that had been fully skimmed of cream "Blue John". lol She'd say why'd you get that blue john milk, it isn't any good.
+Deb G - No it isn't good drinking it straight - but you cant tell a bit of difference if it is baked in something... and the kids LOVE hot chocolate made with it (tastes like caramel hot chocolate!). But it totally ruins coffee...😉... love her name for it though...
+Homesteading Family lol... sorry - read your reply as canned milk... but I'm with her - good milk needs some cream!

Homesteading Family see my comment above. That’s pure sugar, and not good for kiddos.
I like the milk with all of the cream.
I'm very impressed with the cream yield your cow is giving! When you make butter in such large quantities, what method do you use?
+T Nicholas Hi there... Yes she is a great milk cow... but she hardly keeps any fat for herself - the more (better quality) you feed her the more she produces and gets skinny! I just use my good old Bosch mixer with the cookie paddles and do about .5 gallons of cream at a time... Not the most efficient, but large electric butter churns are EXPENSIVE!! So we make do!
Homesteading Family have you tried the old fashioned wooden butter churns? I saw a video on Townsends here in youtube on how making butter was done during 18th century America and it was fascinating to watch.
You can get the thick cream here in wales uk pretty much in every farmers market
I may have drooled for this whole video. I miss whole unpasteurized milk.
Can you make a video on how you make your butter? I would love to see that!
Candee Rose Get your cream and over whip it with a electric beater or till its butter and the leftover milk is called "buttermilk"A beater isn't a must but it would take a long time but still possible
Very easy to make butter. Take the cream and mix (stir or use blender) depending on the speed you'll have to wait different periods of time for your butter to solidify.
Candee Rose in a deep Woden barrel, fill 1/3 with skimmed milk..insert 2 mice. The one who swims and swims is the little mouse that could cause he churned it to butter and jumped out.
Do you make your yogurt and cheeses in cast iron pots?
do you perhaps have a video on all the things you can make from raw milk? like what you do with the cream, and you can make whipped cream and cream cheese, and cottage cheese, and butter, and how you keep the buttermilk and all that kind of stuff and what your process is and how you store it????
We do have those in our masterclass here: classes.homesteadingfamily.com/practical-homemade-dairy
how long can you let the cream sit in the refrigerator before you make butter.
can you freeze milk and then make butter?
I really liked you video 😊
and what you said about milk being healthy is so true. It's even used to describe the ultimate blessing in the bible, being given a land of milk and honey. lol. i love both😍
Skimming starts @ 4:57!
I feel like whenever it seemed I got any milk in the cream that the cream wouldn't whip. Are you able to get it to whip even with tiny swirls of milk? I was using a much larger and deeper ladle and didn't wet it, so maybe that was my mistake. I will try skimming with a gravy ladle. I love your videos. Just discovered your channel last night. We are soul sisters. Thanks for living the dream and sharing it.
Can you use that cream to make half and half?
Is your 12-24 hr milk refrigerated before separating?
If you skim into a large measuring cup - with a big top - it won't be so messy. Then, pour cream into your clean jar.
😢you do it the way my Aunt Kate did it...I miss following her in kitchen. 💜👵🏻
Can you freeze cream till you have enough to make butter
Im first timer here and bought at dairy and it came in gal container . Should I have poured in into a glass jar?
Is it a viable option to use a straw to suck out the milk from under the cream raft? Or is that a bad idea.
I have enjoyed watching several of your videos. Do you have one on how to make butter?
Thank you for this video 🌼
I know that we need to use raw milk for that, without boiling it or anything right?
Is it safe to consume products from raw milk? I want to try it, but I'm a little confused
While waiting for the milk and cream to separate, is it refrigerated?
+jvcantrell Yes it is!
+Homesteading Family Even know if it's refrigerated, wasn't it really good to drink with? I thought the cream milk wasn't that good, but it smells different.
What can you make with the cream if you left out side the refrigerator? Or how many days can stay outside?
So, when you remove the cream off the top, is the milk now considered low fat? I am wanting to make milk kefir with low fat milk.
Do you put it in the fridge to sit, for the cream to rise?
I really want a cow now 😍
Does doing this turn the milk into non fat milk or low fat milk
Hi. Do you have a how to make butter video?
You need to talk about if you left it out first and if so how long...
Do you ever make powdered milk? I’ve always wondered how it’s done. I use milks in the soap I make but I’d love to buy fresh milk, cream, powdered milk and so on. Love your videos!
I'm thinking a freeze dryer would be awesome for that
hi . thanks for the video. how many grams of butter comes from 1 liter milk? (approximately)
So is it low-fat raw milk after the cream is skimmed off?
do you have a video showing how to make butter
No, but we're back in milk now and will try to do some more dairy videos!
I skimmed the cream off and put it in a jar, and it had a smell to it. But the jar where I skimmed it from did not. Is that normal?
hello, is it from refrigerated raw milk or refrigerated pasteurized milk?
CAROLYN I’ve never been around raw milk. 😊. If you guys are just drinking it do you skim it first and drink what is left? And do you skim after it is refrigerated? Thank you for helping us get started!!
Do you pressure can butter or milk?
Yay!!!
Can you make ice cream from this cream?
Does the rest of the milk still able to be use to drink after boiling it or was it only can be use for other to processed it like cheese?
Would love to see a butter video and ice cream!
+Sarah Gilmore - Ohh - ice cream! We love that homemade ice cream... but the cow is dry for winter, so maybe in the spring...
I thought I'd let you n all ya viewers know I recently bought a new brand from kroger called homestead creamery n apparently there the only place that sales it I thought at first I had got a bad batch do to the thick layer at the top but I see know it's actually a ligit close to raw milk n thanks to ya video I know no diffrent know my question is how long will the milk b good sence there's no date like the process kind with experaction dates n bty thanks for this learned something new n most defiantly a new experience
I have a question, can you use the skimmed milk to make mozzarella, farmers cheese, etc
Nice demo mam, but if you get your camera closer to the jar and show the difference of color, would be great. also need to confirm that you didn't heat the milk at all .. right? only keeping it for long time in fridge .. please advise
She did not heat the milk. Only refrigerated it.
do you take the cream off the milk before you make the dream cheese ? i am trying to understand.
Hi. Love your videos. I bought a gallon ofilk from the tank from my local farmer last Saturday. Today I am skimming cream like you. Great tip with the small ladle. I am very inexperienced with fresh milk. It has different smell. That is normal? Or did I wait to many days?
Can you make sprouts bread?

i know this sounds stupid, but is it possible to get the cream from a milk bought in the grocery? or is it totally homogenized that i'll need a machine to do that?
So what do you do with your milk after you skim the cream off? Can I process something more from this milk?
There are many things you can make with the skimmed milk. One of our favorites is mozzerella.
Maybe try a cookie sheet instead of a towel. Maybe poor your spills back in the milk. Yum.
Are the benefits still there for skim raw milk? Just wondering
Cream was NEVER a unhealthy food....until you added sugar...
That heavy cream you're talking about?... Yeah, I've found it here in washington. #luckyyyy
What do they call it?
@@davidb.854 it's just raw cream here. Dungeness valley, and twin brook creamery sell it here. I can also buy raw milk and ladle the cream off myself.
My Aunt Hazel hadda dairy and always kept one Jersey as a house-cow; I know just what you mean about that cream, I was terrible for puttin' my finger in that risen cream and just slurpin'it up straight..ol' Belle waz on grass and her cream was to die for.. Someday I'm gonna have me a cow..possibly some milk-sheep and mebbe,just mebbe, a dairy camel!!
I LOVE dairyin'!!
Hi, is this milk raw or pasteurized?
Raw.
Can someone please tell me why I get a fever since I started drinking raw milk, my milk supplier is very reliable.
Basically I get fever and congested and headaches too.
Thank you.
Raw milk means that you’re drinking straight from the cow, who knows if there’s any bacteria when it comes out. Leaving you vulnerable to E.Coli and salmonella
Try a different milk supplier if the same thing happens then stop drinking milk. Try A2A2 grass fed raw milk. You might have sensitivity to bacteria/microorganisms in milk
It is detox, the milk is healing
I’m so disappointed because I got a herd share and got my raw milk and waited a day to skim but it was really thin and when I tried to whip it it remained milky no whipped cream. Is it possible that the people I’m getting it from are skimming the cream themselves before selling it? Or is it possible that there are cows that really have that little cream in their milk? I’m happy to have raw milk but I had so many plans for every different part of the milk😢
P.S. I think if you have a cow you’d be swimming in cream so I don’t really think it’s possible they’d be skimming it. I don’t know how ask about it..
Okay honestly what do you do with 60 lbs of butter a month? I love butter, I could eat it on just about anything but my family could never eat that much butter. Can you sell it being that it’s unpasteurized?
Not only is it a good spread, but can be used for low heat cooking, can be used in baking, it can be frozen (as she mentioned), also, she has a large family, so I imagine they have no problem using it up.
Can you buy raw milk
It depends on what state you live in. Here In Indiana, you have to buy a herd share. Legally you get the milk for free (because it can't be sold), but you pay for boarding your piece of the cow. Some states are a bit more reasonable.
