Udderly EZ™ Milker
Hand-powered sheep and goat milking machine makes lambing and kidding season easier on your hands and the teats of your ewes and does.
A few pumps creates a seal allowing the teat valve to open and release milk. The flow is not rapid, but effective.
Speed-up and simplify the collection of:
- Colostrum for newborn lambs and goat kids
- Excess milk from ewes or does for freezer storage
- Milk for your family’s use, reduce strain on your hands!
Designed with input from shepherds, herdsmen, veterinarians and farm managers from around the world.

Tips
How to Use
- Always, clean the udder area, using the Udderly EZ Wipes provided in your kit, to remove any accumulated dirt and bacteria.
- Gently remove the wax plug from the end of the teat so it does not drop into the bottle.
- Manually strip each teat at least twice to get a good flow of milk started. Dampen each teat or use bag balm to help secure vacuum.
- Place the cylinder directly over the teat and gently lift the pump unit against the udder.
- Squeeze the handle at least 2-3 times, this will start the vacuum seal process, locking the unit onto the animal's udder. You may want to hold bottle with free hand and tilt inward or towards the top of the pump until sealed.
- As soon as the milk flow starts, stop pumping! When the flow slows or stops, start pumping again. You may need to repeat this sequence 3-4 times.
- To release the vacuum on the pump, push bottle backwards toward hand trigger to release vacuum lock. Do not pull pump off udder.
- The first milking will generally collect between 8-12 ounces of colostrum, although this may vary with each animal species or breed.
- If the mother does not let her milk down immediately, you may have to massage her udder gently to get the flow started. Push the entire pump and bottle up into the bag (like a baby bunting it's mom while nursing) and let the weight settle back down and be careful not to break the vacuum seal.
- Do not overfill the collection bottle, only fill to the indicated line on the bottle. Never tilt pump backwards. This will allow the milk or colostrum to run into the air intake hole and damage the diaphragm in the pump.
- Place the nipple directly onto the bottle and feed directly to the newborn. All our bottles are Freezer safe, just apply cap and place in freezer. DO NOT THAW OUT IN MICROWAVE!

Love this! Makes it so much easier, now you don’t have to try to hold something for the milk to go in. One step, easy no mess and ready to freeze or put the nipple on and feed! Another winning product from Premier 1!
I had a ewe that I couldn’t get to milk, wasn’t sure if I was just doing something wrong, this came in the mail and I got it figured out. Thanks again for the fast service!

This product didn’t work for me. It was slower than hand milking and a little fussy. I have two friends that love theirs, so I’m sure that there is a learning curve here or perhaps it just works better with some animals. But I would recommend that if you’ve done a lot of hand milking and are experienced with that, save your money.

I had a goat who hates being milked. My pulsing (electric) milker would make her scream and kick and bruised her; she was the only one who had issues. With this milker she relaxes and milks really easy and no bruising or kicking.

Great milker and much easier on the ewe.

This works great! We have a single lamb that is favoring one side of his mom. This allows us to easily milk the other side to relieve the pressure and hopefully ward off any mastitis. So glad to have this in my lambing kit.
