Need advice on a milker

Joey Wahoo · #1 04/13/12, 08:28 PM

We raise Boers and occasionally we have one get an engorged milk bag. Right now we have a mama who bag swole up a couple of weeks before she kidded and it was so big by the time they were born that they can't nurse so we're having to bottle feed them. It's difficult to milk her down by hand so I'm looking for a hand pump milker I can use in situations like this. I did a search and I found some but they're pricey.

Would love any recommendations or advice.

thanks

You can make your own with a syringe body, vinyl hose, and a drench gun.

Alice, I started looking at drenching guns after seeing this. I am confused as to which one would be best. Do you have a link to the one that you have?

It's a Durvet. Kind of in a hurry this morning. Here's a search result.
