Making butter is pretty straightforward. Milk a cow, separate the cream, agitate it, and you're done. After the apocalypse*, obtaining enough milk will be the biggest hurdle in the process, especially if you're looking to milk a wild cow for the first time. (You can watch wild-cow milking contests online, if you want to get a sense of the difficulty level.) A few precautions may save your life. Don't try to milk a bull. If you've mistakenly approached and angered a bull, pray that you have the time to cut your losses and find some olives to press for oil instead. Females with young calves can be just as aggressive and unapproachable, so caution should be exercised here, too.
