Production planning estimate
Plan around quarts of milk
A starting estimate is 0.5 lb of butter per quart of milk. Work back from how much you go through in a year to see how much that takes to make.
What you'll need
— quarts of milk
Planning note: Skimming cream before churning gives a better yield than using whole milk directly.
