This too shall pass.
It will be a few months, but looking for ideas, since I no longer have the good goat-milking pail I used for over thirty years. I've seen suggestions to milk one-handed into a jar, but I prefer to milk two-handed, if possible. I'm considering a ss tea kettle; I found one on Amazon that appears to be seamless at the bottom, though there would still be a seam where the spout attaches. I'd prefer not to have the spout, of course, if I could find a container about that size and shape with a bail and a lid. I know some of you guys milk Nigies, or have in the past -- what did you use?
Also, because of my bad back, I'm thinking of building a tall milking stand so I can milk standing up. It would have a ramp that folds up out of the way when not in use. Any thoughts?
The 2 year old doe has freshened once, and looks like she will be fairly easy to milk. Too soon to tell about the six month old doe. And the buck kid is out of a long line of * milkers.
