Milking Stand
If you have dairy goats, you know that milking can sometimes be a challenge. So we’ve introduced a milking headpiece that fits neatly onto our trimming stand to securely hold nannies at a comfortable height. Built-in feeding tray holds enough feed to distract your animals during milking. Locking headpiece holds them in place—they can’t leave until the milking is complete.
- Headpiece adjusts to accommodate goats large and small (more so than other available headpieces).
- Lightweight design is easy to move from place to place throughout the barn.
- Securely holds goats at a comfortable height for milking (floor of stand is 22" above the ground).
- Hot-dip galvanized for years of use.
- Comes with a convenient carry handle.
Easily convert the milking stand into a trimming stand by adding a trimming stand headpiece.

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.
