Recommend any milking products?

[Spring Flower]

Hello,I was having a hard time finding a milking strainer that can strain into a jar. As well as a pail to milk into and some filters. Does anyone know of any they can recommend?


Thank you guys

It has been a great milk strainer but we are seeing some discoloration after 3 years, not too bad for the price though

and milk directly into this pail that has a wonderful lid and is extremely easy to sanitize. The shape helps keep rogue feet from landing in it if you have a kicker

It was very inexpensive as far as milking supplies go and I wish I would have gotten the bigger pail because of our milk production now but worth more than I paid for it. Three years on and no rust whatsoever.

I got my first bucket, strainer, strip cup kit from Caprine Supply. Bucket and striner are stainless steel and the strip cup is aluminum. All work very well.

The strainer easily fits wide mouth canning jars, quart or half gallon. I have use this since 2010. Works well for me.

Buy stainless steel buckets and strainers regardless of cost, stainless steel equipment will last forever, is dishwasher safe and can be sterilized. I also bought from Caprine Supply back then (1988), although there are other sellers now offering similar products. 9 quart pails were best size for hand milking until we were milking 12 and over when we went to machine.

Depending on how much milk you are getting per day, we used gallon size glass jars to strain into to store the milk. You can buy the gallon ice tea jars, but my husband was a power lineman and the crew used to eat in the same delis weekly. The deli starting saving the gallon size pickle jars for him. I still use them for making sun tea in the summer. After straining you can pour the milk into smaller jars for storage and table use. I bought 2 quart glass beverage jars with twist and pour lids to store our daily milk. Easy to handle and put on dinner table. They were a narrow rectangular shape and stored easily in fridge. Milk tastes better stored in glass. At the fairgrounds where I did not have as much access to fridge space, I used an aluminum gallon milk jug with bail handle to strain and chill milk for us to drink. Aluminum is a great conducter of heat and cold and by dropping the aluminum jug in an ice chest of ice and water it chilled almost immediately in the tackroom. The aluminum jug fit the wide mouth strainer perfectly.
