OMGosh. Love the title. Am I in the minority here. I milk from behind the doe and put my hands between the legs. Boy does that sound bad.

I saw a woman milking her goat that way yesterday at the fair too. First time I saw it done that way but what ever way works & your comfortable.

That is a pretty cool idea for the milkstand.

Ought to be twice the price! Looks like all the board edges are rounded, sanded, and the extra nifty design...... price is tooooo low.

Very nice!! I just sit on the edge of my stand. I only milk from behind when I use the machine which only happens when I have at least 3 milking.

That's a great ad, isn't it? About a week ago, I actually contacted them and told them I loved the title of the ad.

DH is supposed to build me a new stand, saved that picture and sent it to his computer.
Neat idea.

dunno, seems like that cut out is right about where the bucket should be. i would be worried about it falling off. and my girls get up on the stand by hoping up in the middle and then turning straight. dont think they could do that with this design. i milk a mix of breeds and my big girls could maybe stand on that but my nigies wouldnt have anywhere to put their back feet.

nice idea but not too sure its practical
