Half a cup of butter.
A pound of lard is two cups and lard must be of a similar density to butter. Therefore one cup of butter weighs half a pound.
1lb crisco equals 1 lb lard
That would be 8 oz of oil
The lard I remember always came in buckets, I think they were 5 pound buckets. I have seen it in one pound bricks. But adding a half a pound of lard seems like alot of lard, unless one is baking a very large amount.

Butter is not a substitute for butter extract. Butter extract is a fat-free flavoring used when for some reason butter cannot be used. When butter is used, it should replace the fat in the recipe - shortening, oil or lard - and the butter extract will not be needed.
Lard is not needed to make yeast bread. You can make excellent bread with just yeast, flour, water, and salt for flavoring. If your recipe calls for shortening or butter, substitute the same amount of lard for each. (Except for brushing the tops of the dough; butter or egg wash still works best for that.)
1/2 a cup of butter is equal to one whole stick of butter
