What are the steps to milk a goat stand? I highly recommend buying this magazine:
http://www.hobbyfarms.com/popular-farmin ...
He has good plans for shelters simple goat, a diver, and keyhole feeders. The diagrams are easy to read, with all the measures you need.
So my advice is based on the height of the column (the goat was actually standing on their feet) would depend on what you use the plunger, and how your back is good.
Are you going to trafficking? Is it a great Saanen goat or a short pygmies? What is a comfortable height for you, sit, and reach her udder?
Or are you will only use it to cut the claws and no veterinary care? Maybe you want to stand all the time you preform these tasks. You could make a great diver, with an additional step for the goats to jump height.
The only magazine is $ 10. It is well worth the purchase price. Packed with excellent information goat, and plans. It's actually a good deal.
