Dairy Goat Milking Parlor

this is our milking set-up..copied from another dairy.. we made a few changes and feel this is almost the perfect system…moves them fast and easy and no chance to pass eachother on the deck..single file is now the rule! it takes little effort other than making sure they fully enter each stall. smaller goats dont always engage the gate fully, so following along ensures there are no traffic accidents! they learn fast not to back up and some choose to jump off the back deck rather than walk the full length. we are plotting an auto-feeding system and hope to soon have that installed… milking alone and filling all 34 boxes takes up a lot of time.
