Does anyone know where I can get plans for an adjustable milking stand/grooming stand? I used the head piece plan from fiasco farm, and I'd like to replace that as it does not fit everyone. (I think it holds their head in one position for too long, I'd like them to be able to stand with their head at any height) I'd like a place to clip and trim hooves on everyone, including babies and my buck. Thanks, Anita
I don't have any ideas as far as building your own goes. I have a Sydell milk stand, and it works great. The head piece fits the little and big girls.
They are really expensive brand new (something like $300), but I got ours for $100 used from a breeder.
We adapted this plan to our needs- we have made two of them. One had to be left behind in MS. We have a portable metal stand also/ http://www.motherearthnews.com/Do-It-Yourself/2002-06-01/Milking-Stanchion.aspx?page=2
