I wonder if a gravy separator pitcher would work? Been so many years

since I have seen milk right from the cow, I have forgotten. I used to

drink warm milk right from Grandpa's cow when growing up.

A gravy separator does work, but they are too small to give you enough of a

cream layer to adequately mix. You can also use one of those jars with the

little dispenser thing at the bottom-fill with raw milk, let the cream rise,

drain off the milk and use the cream-but you have to fit the jar in the fridge

and let it get VERY cold and sit for 24 hours before straining. I like the

turkey baster since I can just grab a jug of cream out of the fridge and skim

off just what I need.
