Stratford WI | I picked up an old Universal M3 vac pump on a steel balance tank and put it in the shop side of my garage and piped the vacuum over to the other side where I put in a single tie stall. Picked up a used vac controller at a local dairy place. Had a Universal pulsation set up from my old days as a service guy....
Earlier I milked goats on a double stand in there but was going to milk a little shorthorn I had picked up....Used a Universal claw and an old fresh cow bucket.
I would Take out 2 buckets of water before milking one warm and one hot with a little pipeline detergent. after milking I would suck the rinse water through then the soapy water while dipping the claw in and out of the bucket. I would run acid through every other day or so. I did pick up a hose cleaning brush and an inflation brush so I could break everything down for a good scrub if it needed it.
Kept it clean enough. We Chilled the milk immediately and each milking separately. Never had a problem.
We were up to near 20 goats by the time we got tired of it. Kept us in milk and fed a few pigs and lots of calves over the several years we did it. Never did milk the heifer though....
