From the net... I think Australian which would explain how he bought raw milk in a store.

K, so I’ve been making butter since last summer and I figured Id make a post about it. I USED to make butter from the heavy cream I would get at the big chain grocery store but I stopped because the butter I would end up with was nearly white!! I found out that the darker yellow your butter is the more nutritious it is and since I wasnt getting yellow butter I quit doing that. Now that Im buying my milk from the health food store and getting RAW non-homogenized milk I figgured why not do it the old fashioned way, I put my milk in 4 wide mouth quart mason jars so it would be easier to scoop out the cream and ended up with 2 pints of thick cream. Then I took each pint and took two more jars and filled them ½ way, sealed them and started shaking them. Each ½ filled jar took 10 minutes to turn into butter

YELLOW butter! From there I just strained it out rinsed the butter off with cold water and then stored the butter milk and butter in separate jars

IM SO HAPPY I CAN FINALLY MAKE QUALITY BUTTER! It took 2 quarts of cream to get just under 8oz of butter, and now I have more butter milk for pancakes and other yummy stuff.

I might try that for fun. I know a dairy guy.

Raw milk = straight outta the cow?

Yup it is.

What do you strain butter with? Sounds like a mess.

Probably tastes good, though.

I don't see a reason to strain it for spreading on toast or sandwiches.
But if you want to clarify it for baking just melt it which drives off any water, and strain it through cheesecloth to remove any milk solids.
It might keep longer if it's clarified, but I'm not sure.
