I'm currently milking an Alpine type goat but just taken delivery of my mums big bouncy Toggenburg/saan for a few days and she will definitely test out its robustness!

Will mention to hubby about he flat pack idea  could probably do that.....

He could make bigger, longer if required aswell 

Will try and get a picture of gertie goat (the Tog) on it as a size guide

You may want to think about the standing area to be easily cleanable, like an off-cut of non-slip lino or similar. There will always be some spilt milk, not to mention other accidents and dirty feet...
 
Mine gets a wipe after every milking.

Hmmm, Lino may be slippy when wet? rubber stable mat type stuff may be better.
All good ideas  thanks

Rubber matting would be ideal.  Let us know how the test drive with the big goat goes

My other half built this for a friend (clydesdaleclopper) and she seems pretty pleased. It will still be in use in 100 years as long as it gets a lick of paint every other year and as far as we can see he really has thought of every eventuality. Transport can be sorted quite cheaply to anywhere in the country as he works for one of the UK's largest removals firms.

Heres a few tech specs:
flatpackable
ajustable feet for stability on any uneven surfaces
adjustable side rail that can be fitted to either side
ramp can be off the end or either side
adjustable headstock so not a problem for horned goats
quick release headstock mechanism so a panicked goat won't hurt itself
light enough not to have to remorgage the house just to pay for transport
easy assembly (it must be as i put one together without any input from the other half)
useful for trimming feet or other management tasks, not just milking!
also being marketed to farriers for trimming shetland/mini ponies feet - very very strong and robust

Anyone interested in having one for themselves, with any adjustments for your own personal requirements, just drop us a line.
