\"2013-09-15<\/a>The Milking Shed was still just a plan in my head. \u00a0I knew where it was going and how it would work, but I thought it was a couple of months away. With Midge’s injury<\/a> meaning we have to massage her udder and milk her out until the kids are allowed back on, the milking stand jumped back to to the top of the to-do list. I have had a Butcher’s table for over 40 years. It had been cut down twice, once when it went into my bedroom as a work table when I was 7 and again when I cut it down to coffee table size and painted it red\u00a0when I was a teenager. It has been sitting on the deck for the last year as a stand for the BBQ. \u00a0It is strong and stable and I thought it looked about the right size. \u00a0We checked the measurement of the Fiasco Farm Milking Stand<\/a>\u00a0and it was exactly the same size,\"2013-09-15<\/a> approx 900 x 600 mm (36″ x 24″ ). \u00a0Again we were going to re-purpose something we had to make something we need. \u00a0 Brad screwed on a couple of spacers, then added a Marri frame with Jarrah boards to hold the Marri<\/a> head gate. \u00a0 Finally we glued and screwed an old yoga mat to the top for a recycled non-slip surface. \u00a0 When we are milking for human consumption, it will be in a separate shed with a concrete floor, but for now, the stand is in the goat pen, as the priority is that Midge feels comfortable with it before I lock her in and try to tend her wounds and milk her sore teat single-handed. \u00a0Rose hopped up as soon as we put it in and Crumpler tried to eat it.<\/p>\n
