How To Make Goat Butter At Home

Goats are treasures for food, meat, and milk. One of the best things we can make from homestead goats is goat butter, which we can utilize in making cookies, desserts, and pies as a replacement for cow butter. My aunt manages the goats and all the livestock in our family homestead farm in North Carolina. One of the reasons we have more goats than cows is that goats require a smaller area (about 200 square feet for each goat) to live than cows, and they are more reproductive. The process of making homemade goat butter in an organic environment is awesome. It is tricky to collect cream and then extract butter because goat milk is naturally homogenized. The primary and critical phase of making this butter was cream. Cream can be separated from goat milk either by a cream separator or by setting the milk in the refrigerator for about 24-48 hours. My aunt and I collect cream from each batch of milk that is about 3-4 tbsp daily and save it in the freezer. Sometimes it was a complete mess handling the cream, plus it yielded a minimal amount of cream. That's why we bought our first cream separator in 2016. It doesn't change life, but it was definitely worth buying.
