A water balloon is the best analogy. When a cow is milked the butter fat rises to the top. Once collected the the encapsulated butter fat must be broken to release the fat. That's what the churning process does. Once the membrane is broken the milk like liquid that is separated is the butter milk. It is drained off leaving only the fat which is now butter. In order for this to work the butter fat needs to be at room temp for like 12 hours giving it a slightly sour smell due to the bacteria weakening the membrane.

How much milk does a brown Swiss produce a year?

Holstein cows produce an average of 3.5% butterfat with an average of 17,000 pounds of fluid milk per year. That would be 595 pounds of butterfat per year. Holsteins are the highest total fluid milk producers, but are on the low side of percent butterfat and percent protein. Even so, if you compare Holsteins to breeds that produce higher butterfat (like Jerseys and Guernseys), the Holstein will produce more total butterfat in a year due to the higher volume of fluid milk that they produce.
