Show me your 4-goat set-up
We have an old camper trailer we are thinking of converting into a milking parlor. since it's a trailer, we obviously have way more space in one direction than the other.  We will probably be building some sort of set up to bring 4 does in at a time, so I am looking for some pictures of a 4-goat milking set up if you've got them, please.  Also, ours needs to be easy to hand milk (and I prefer milking from the side of the goat), because we will be using a machine when there are a majority of does fresh, but switch to hand-milking in winter when there are only a few girls to milk. Anyway, just looking for some ideas, and pictures of the stanchions, doors, ramps, pens, etc. used. Thanks!
