Smaller milking claws for mini goats

I have MiniManchas and have a simple pulse milker with standard inflation claws. Are there shorter claws (or whatever they are called- the plastic unit that holds the inflations) made for minis?

I've found I have to pull up the goats udder and teat to get the inflation on.

I know the parts department has a mini goat size but they're website is horrible for searching and finding what you're looking for. Their catalog is great. . They're usually synonymous with the sheep sizes. Here is a link to a Hamby product which is probably the same at parts dept - perhaps call and ask how long the unit is?

I agree on the Parts Dept. Can you believe that their website is actually an improvement over what it used to be?! Yeah, it used to be even worse!

I'll second the vote for Bobwhite systems. They were super helpful when I was trying to put together a system that would handle my mini goats AND a cow without changing equipment.
