In this video i cover quickly how to make your own homemade goat milker for under $30. most expensive item is the food saver pump via http://amzn.to/2mw1yef.. I was researching "ez milker" and someone on here posted about a diy milker, using a brake pump from the auto store, mason jars, and tubing, about $30.. If you have tried making a milker and it isn't working check there first. from responses i got to the post on our new goat milker, as well as personal correspondence, it's clear that there is a real need for a low cost, low-ish tech, off-grid compatible alternative to hand milking goats..
Making a handheld milking machine. a perfect fit. the kids, mainly the girls, are our best milkers. they usually take turns from one day to the next milking the goats.. Hand milking controls as much of the mess as possible, but the milker gives much more assurance that the milk will be clean. i love that. even more, i love that once its going, i can step away from the milking process, at least long enough to get a picture of my happy, busily eating goat.. This milking machine can be used for milking goats, sheep or cows. these instructions are for a surge bucket milker using an inexpensive vacuum pump but once you understand how the machine is put together, you can use that information to change out parts to your own specifications..
