J channeled his energy into building me a GREAT milking stand with a metal stanchion. I pulled apart a couple of pallets and removed all of the nails. J found a few old studs that we pulled out of the house and we started (he started) to build.
The basic design idea came from Fias Co Farms (a great website full of goat information). But J wanted to make a metal stanchion. He took several pieces, bent a few, welded a few, and viola! It is not only beautiful, it is functional. We tried it with Lilo and Tumbleweed. The only challenge is to get a grain bucket that stays lifted up a bit more. The girls can reach, but it's a stretch.
