I bought a 1 acre plot a couple of years ago, and have been trying to turn it into a profitable backyard farm. One of the things I eventually want to do is get a small herd of goats, and milk them, using a machine like you have, just as soon as I rehab the barn structure and put up a fence to keep them in their part of the yard, and away from my vegetables. Wish us luck

No.........no glue! Drill hole slightly bigger and get rubber grommet to place in the drilled hole then cram the air hose in the grommet. It will go in hard but it will go and seal no issues. Then youll be fully sanitary

I have tried to build this very Milker from other videos, but never could see what was done. You have shown very plainly how to make it! I am getting a La Mancha in milk in a couple of weeks and went for another search for DIY milking machines. Thank you so much for making it look so much easier! I have put rubber grommets in the metal top, it holds the tubing very nicely. I got them from Home Depot. And was thinking that a rubber band might be helpful as the “3rd” hand needed to on the suction pump. Thanks again. Ronda, Merry Noise Farm, Elmo TX.

Great video. I just found this last night, went to the store this morning to get stuff and put it together in about 15 minutes. Tried it out on our Nigerian, and it worked great! Thanks for the idea. This was her first milking and she was quite fussy. One thing I did was to use the hot glue for the tubing connection to the lid, but I heated up the metal of the lid with a lighter about as hot as I could get it without damaging anything(took about 4 seconds), put the hot glue on and it stuck very well.

So don't mean to bring you down, but you are asking for a case of mastitis when you don't dip prior, clear the teats, and then dip after you are done emptying her udder. Also, being a CVT (surgery tech) letting her kick is also transferring bacteria from her hooves to her teat via cross contamination and it's teaching her bad habits (she's getting grain while she kicks). We had one doe that was such a kicker she'd jump off the stand first year. It sounds mean, but you can strap her legs down with dog leashes and then you eliminate the bacteria contamination. This past year, she only kicked the first day and now she stands nicely without the straps. Also, you can sterilize those plastic hoses with chlorhexadine solution diluted. I would not trust bleach as it will degrade the glue and it loses it's effectiveness after a couple days open. Cheers on inventing a cool alternative tho!

I don't have goats, nor have I ever milked one. May I ask what it means to *dip"? Thanks!
@pmac5621
6 жыл бұрын
So sorry. Typically, when you milk an animal, there is an involved process of cleaning the udder, dipping the teat into a liquid (teat dip) that might have chlorhexadine solution diluted in it as pathogens can hide in the openings of the teat you can't wash, then you express at least 3 or 4 times to clear any pathogens further up, then it's safe to milk, and after, you'd dip again to kind of "sanitize" the duct to seal it up before the animal gets down. You should always ask to see somebody "milk" before buying RAW milk for consumption or maybe I'm just a bit OCD since I've worked in surgery. Bacteria can go both ways-in your mouth or up an udder.

A few suggestions. First if you use food grade silicone tubing it’s pliable enough you can get a seal without glue. Also use a hand pump brake bleeder for the suction. It has a pressure gauge so you know how much pressure you are applying. If you overdo the pressure you can hurt the goat.

I think it is a good idea to make sure the tubing is food grade. I got some tubing and didn't notice until I got home that it had the Calif. prop 65 warning that said that the tubing would expose you to vinyl chloride and styrene. Maybe breast pump tubes, or soda tubes, or beer making tubes? It just seems like if you're going to the trouble of milking goats you'd want food grade tubes.

This is a really nice build. I might add some kind of grommet or gasket to the syringe barrels to be extra sure the corners don't dig in and break the skin. Great thinking with putting the plunger back in when one side finished early. I really like this one! I'm planning to have small goats, and those usually come with small teats. I'm looking forward to hand milking when I get there, but I'm glad to have this idea in my back pocket in case I have some kind of injury or something, and I like knowing I have a way to make it easy for someone to step in for me temporarily if need be. Did it take long for your girls to acclimate to the milker? If I don't plan to make it my primary milking method, I suspect that it would be wise to get them at least somewhat trained to this, just in case it becomes necessary. I've heard goats can become quite disturbed when their routine is broken even slightly. Thanks for sharing this!

Goats are cool. I read an article recently that said that goats can recognize happy vs sad faces, and go more toward happy faces. I'd be cool if you made a video testing that. Maybe use printed happy and sad faces, or just use your family (making faces, LOL!). And maybe a pallet 'mountain' would be good for the goats, as long as the gaps in the pallets are all closed.

Hi SSLFamilyDad :-D I'm relatively new to your channel. I subbed awhile ago, but, have been watching more gardening videos than anything else. Since I am not new to canning, dehydrating, etc ... I thought I might make a suggestion. Have you seen the "brake bleeder method" for sucking air out of canning jars? I wonder if that action would feel more natural to your goats? You wouldn't have to worry about dead batteries, either. I know absolutely nothing about goats or milking them, but, hope to learn more and have a couple someday. I buy goat milk & goat milk kefir from the local health food store on occasion. It's really expensive, or I'd buy it more often. Great idea for efficiency & money saving!!! Thanks for sharing!!! :-D
