Goat milk stand - portable goat milking stand - shows
We sell goat and sheep products to help you in the care of your animals. Each item is designed and built by our ironworks with care to quality and ease of use. We specialize in high quality items made for long use. All of our items are available as custom orders; we can change size!!
We have recently redesigned our milk and fitting stands.
We have been trying for awhile to make these stands better, more durable, even easier to use, and still keep them in the same price range to make them affordable. Well, we did it! Our milk and fitting stands set up and fold up with the insertion or removal of just one pin! The new design makes these platforms rock solid.
The milk stand stanchions still slip into the deck with four points of anchor, this makes the stanchion as solid as it can be. Unlike milk stands that have just one point of anchor from the stanchion to deck, our 4 point design will not twist, or bend out and in, which goats love to do while their being milked out. The milk and fitting stands still lock together FLAT, BUT NOW WITH JUST ONE PIN!

MANY FOLKS HAVE ASKED US,"WHY DON'T YOU OFFER A SMALLER STAND?"
ANSWER- THERE IS A REASON THAT MANUFACTURES LIKE US, SLYDELL, HOGGER, AND CAPRINE SUPPLY BUILD MILK STANDS THAT ARE 4 FOOT BY 20 INCHES. THIS SIZE ALLOWS MILKERS TO MILK FROM THE REAR OF THE ANIMAL OR FROM THE SIDE, WITH PLENTY OF ROOM TO SIT ON THE DECK. TRY TO MILK A NUBIAN, TOGG, ALPINE, OR LAMANCHA ON A 3 FOOT BY 16 INCH DECK...GOOD LUCK...ALMOST IMPOSIBLE!! EVEN WITH A VERY MANAGABLE ANIMAL.
ANGLE IRON DECKS ARE MUCH BETTER THAN SQUARE TUBE DECKS, FOR THE FACT THAT THE EXPANDED METAL IS SECURED UNDER THE DECK, NOT ON THE TOP!!! EXPANDED METAL SECURED TO THE TOP OF THE DECK IS LIKE A CHEESE GRADER ON YOUR SKIN AND CLOTHES.
THESE STANDS ARE RATED AT 350 POUNDS WEIGHT ON THEM.
1. WIDER DECK FRAME METAL. 1 1/2"
2. 1" SQUARE TUBE LEGS AND STANCHION.
3. THESE STANDS PAINTED IN BLACK.
THESE STANDS WEIGH , ROUGHLY 50 POUNDS, AND ARE SUITED TO EVERYDAY FARM USE WITH MANY ANIMALS.
IF YOU ARE MILKING 10+ ANIMALS TWICE A DAY, THEN THIS IS THE STAND FOR YOU.
DECK AND LEGS ARE SECURED BY A CENTRAL PIN POINT, THIS MAKES FOR ZERO SHIFTING OF THE LEGS AND MAXIMUM WEIGHT ALLOWANCE!!!!
PLEASE NOTE: FEED PAN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS LISTING, IT IS FOR REFERENCE ONLY.
This is not your standard mass produced heavy, bulky stand. It is compact and easy to move and transport yet very sturdy for even using to groom your largest bucks. Each of our stands is individually made to be sure of all measurements and secure welds. This extra care to detail also makes sure that there are no sharp edges for you or your goats to get hung up and hurt on. I personally have had bad experiences with stands milking on cold mornings or evenings and cut myself or my goat got cut on the stand. This makes it hard for you to milk and will make your ladies very skittish of getting into the stand. plus there is nothing worse than getting your show outfit getting caught up or snagged right before you show. Our iron works designed these stands with the fact in mid that most members of the goat show community are women and kids just learning. As I have lupus he watched many times the struggles that my daughters and I had in loading and unloading our equipment. So he designed a light weight very sturdy stand for us to use. During the last show season we had many people asking where we got our stands and even had an agriculture instructor from a local school use our design for his FFA students.
I have used these stands on our yearling Lamancha does and on senior Boer bucks with out problems. My girls have no trouble packing up their "practice" stand and moving it all over our yard it folds down very easily and reassembles with equal ease.
You can also use these stands in cunjunction with your goat milking machines.
You could also use these stands as restraint for such tasks as , using your clipping shears, tattoo id's., hoof trimings, giving health and worming medications
