Looking for used milking equipment

6e · #1 02/11/08, 10:43 PM

I've looked in the goat supply catalogs and this stuff is just so expensive, so I thought I would ask if anyone has any used equipment that I might be able to buy reasonable?
I'm looking for 1 or 2 stainless pails with the half moon lids, strip cups and strainer? Or any other used equipment that might be useful?
Please pm me and let me know.
Thank you!

Thought I might suggest Ebay, if you hadn't already thought of it yourself. c

I did try that, but I couldn't find anything that I was looking for. I was looking under dairy equipment. Is that not the right area? Is there another area?

I'm straining into canning jars. I'm folding the filter into a cone and putting it into the canning funnel.

For a strip cup, I squirt into the cat's dish. It was free, and the cats are pleased with the arrangement.

My "pail" is a $6.00 stock pot from a cheapie store. It has a nice wide, flat bottom that doesn't tip.

The pot and the filters are the only things I purchased.
