Goat Milking Stand



My husband's uncle custom builds these. We have one and my pal Meredith has one, that she couldn't live without now! Contact me to order yours :)

Meet Stella, our newest addition :)

Finally ordered my runner ducklings I've wanted for SO long from the hatchery! They'll be here May 7th and I CAN'T wait!

So we tried the goat milker...and it was a fail :( I don't know if the boys had just drained the mommas of milk or if their teats aren't big enough for the milker to work. We're going to seperate the boys from the mommas for the night and try milking them first thing in the morning...hopefully that fixes the problem. If not, I'll be on the look out for a hand milker! The boys NEED to be weaned...they are 3 and 4 weeks old now.

Everyone survived the heavy rain we've had for the past few days! It's a little soggy around here though. The ducks were loose last night and I left them...the chickens free range, so why can't they? I don't think they'll go far from the pond anyway ;)

Hopefully it stays dry enough today so I can't let the goaties out to graze my mini hay field, LOL...they haven't been out since it started pouring 2 days ago.

I let all of the goaties out to graze my lawn, which is quickly growing into a field, lol. Meredith came over to buy one of Uncle Mike's goat milking stands. There's 1 more for sale, if anyone's interested, contact me! My goat milker WILL be finished when Jamison gets out of work...I'm ready to wean the boys and start bottle feeding! I would have weaned them much sooner, but didn't have the milker availble then. We're also going to pick up cedar posts to start my goat pen...finally!

Hopefully Jamison can get my milk machine working this morning and we'll be in the goat milk business, lol. If it works, all 4 buck kids will be weaned from mommas and we'll be bottle feeding 6 babies 3x a day! Anyone want to come help?
