Milking station

WARNING! Make sure you put the frozen bags into a bowl to defrost since I have found that every freezer bag springs leaks and when defrosting it I lost the entire thing down the drain when it leaked out of the bag! LOL

YES!!! Absolutely!!! We always put the zip lock bag in a big stainless steel bowl, to thaw it. We figured that out the first time we thawed a bag. Fortunately, we had put that first bag in the sink to thaw!

How do you get your animals onto the stand? The sheep refise to go up the ramp.

Will they follow a feed bucket? That is THE main reason the goats will jump up there with joy in the beginning. Usually it's the 2nd yr freshening before they want to get milked for pressure relief....but, food is always an expected given!!

Had one who could eat faster than you could milk! She would look at you & voice her opinion! Better have more ready if you wanted all the milk. I did get her used to having some nice alfalfa, vice more grains....she'd do pellets, cubes or fresh. Bribery gets you far!

X2! Feed and maybe a boost the first few times.
