Pros:
- Great sturdy stand
- Somewhat "light" (50 pounds)
- Galvanized, I can leave it out in the elements
Cons:
- $30.00 shipping
- My older Nigerian Dwarfs have some difficulty getting on the stand
- Fixed by subsequently purchasing the optional ramp

We have all the pieces for this stand and use them all. The milking headpiece fits everyone from our Nigerian Dwarf goats to our large horned Spanish goats. If a horned goat is big, we just take the pin out and lock the goat after the head is through. All the pieces are very sturdy and I appreciate the feeling that they will last a long time.

Shipped promptly from Premier. Was easy to set up and works great. Light enough to move around yet sturdy enough for a large doe that has never been milked before.

This does not work for horned goats. I have both horns & disbudded. I will need to order another head piece for the goats with horns. Otherwise I'm happy with it. It is quite tall & older goats will need a ramp or steps up to it.
