Best Nigerian Goat Stanchion/Where?

[ThreeBoysChicks]

Fias Co Farm has plans you can download for builing one out of wood. May be able to use it for dimension,etc. I plan to build one like this as I have a lot of recycled lumber.

So, how high should the stanchion base be for comfortably milking Nigerian does? What's everyone out there milking today using & think is the right height? :/

I'd say higher than a coffee table (mine's a little low) and lower than a kitchen table. lol

Mine is 18" or so but I wish it was more like 24" tall.

Edit: I should add that I'm 5'9" and my back isn't so hot so any sort of half bent position (even sitting on my stool) just kills me.

I was thinking that 22" - 24" might actually be a good height to make it. Why hunch over if you don't have too?
