Milking 101 and Info:
Well I normally do not brag on a product but I now use a product for Milking that I really believe is a time saver beyond belief.
I am using a product called UDDERLY EZ MILKER.This is a hand help unit that you pump a few times and the milk comes out into an attached bottle.
No Electricity, No equipment to move around for just a few animals it is truely GREAT.
I was milking 1 ewe that had a single lamb and instead of setting up all my milking equipment,
running my vacuum pump and all for a few minutes of milking when now all I do is sanitize a couple of parts,
assemble and I am ready.Really,this is the best time saver for milking 1 or 2 animals.
There parts for Sheep, Goats and cows and the bottles come in different sizes also.
I would tell you come to the farm to see this and check out there web site for more info:

*********************************************
We are NO LONGER Milking as we had to sell out until the critter
that has been killing my Dairy Sheep is killed.
We have lost 14 Sheep in the last 2 years and it was getting to expensive to continue.
In August it came and killed my black/white ram
so that was the straw that broke the back as they say.
We still like people to come out to our farm and talk about Milking
weather it is goats or Sheep there can be $$money made from it.
If you have a dream to start a SMALL MILK Dairy come see us.
If you just would like to come out and try our
Great Tasting SMUDGE (made with Sheep's Milk in it)
we always have Samples.
We also have our EWEPHORIA and EWESOSOFT products also.
