Question by Mel: How should I keep my goat still during milking?
I am fairly new to goats but have read everything that I can get my hands on!
We have a milking stand but when I start milking (after a nice brush down first and while she is eating) she turns her head back trying to butt or bite me. She is clipped to the stand by her collar but should I have something across the back of her head restraining her more? I can milk her if she keeps still but worry about over restraining her or hurting her during milking. As I only want to best for her, please help. Many thanks
