Chillin' with the herd
Does anyone have any experience with hand pump milkers for goats. I milk by hand but it leaves me very sore. A machine milker is very expensive so when I learned there was such a thing I was interested. Any advice?
When you were using it did the goats do fine with it. I have read up a little more on it and some people claim the constant pressure on the teat causes damage. Before it broke how did it go?Roll farms said:I have the Udderly EZ milker. I broke it the 1st month using it, the plastic gets cold and brittle and breaks easily. Worst 170$ I ever spent....
Honestly I can hand milk faster, so probably would only use it on the tiniest of 1st fresheners if it wasn't broken.
Never tried the Henry Milker.
I've seen plans where folks have made their own milkers using large syringes.
Do you have the DP50 then? How do you like it?ksalvagno said:Go to Perry's Milkers. I bought my milking machine from them. It is so easy. Spending the money is worth it when your hands just can't do it. I have problems with my hands too and can only milk one or two does before my hands are no good. So while I know everyone complains about the cleanup, I'd rather clean up than not be able to hold a cup of water or carry anything in my hands.
