How to Make a Goat Milker

Milking a goat with nothing but your bare hands can be a pain, even to the experienced milker. A vacuum milker can save a farmer hours, but it is too expensive for many people. For a couple of dollars and about 5 minutes of your time, you can create a goat milker that is gentle and easy to use.

Instructions

    • 1

      Take the syringe apart. The only parts you need are the plunger and the measuring tube that has the numbers on it.

    • 2

      Using a sharp knife or saw, cut off the closed end of the measuring tube.

    • 3

      Holding the measuring tube so the numbers are upside down, place the plunger inside the bottom of the tube.

      Gently place the tube over the goat's teat and pull the plunger slowly. The suction will cause the milk to flow. If your goat is producing a lot of milk, have a bucket on hand to pour the milk into.
