Our vet requested a chute.

The girls came up with this chute, when it's completed it will have a squeeze also.

They loaded several animals lureing with carrots and alfalfa cubes.

smart girls!

They'll use the chute for milking also. The building that will stand over the chute will have lights and water.
We're getting a Babson belly milker ready, the vacuum pump is from the Emergency Room, seem to operate the pultz well. The Babson is an old style milker, it will be used remote not hung over the cow as used in the past.

I will have to get to a internet connection so I can see pics. Going to look at Dorper sheep this afternoon, probably have them delivered in a couple of weeks. I know I'm going to need a chute for various activities, always do with livestock. I want to see what y'all have built!

Great design and time/work saver. Smart girls indeed!

How long does it take to milk a cow by hand?

 

[Smart Red]

That is a neat set up your girls came up with. I can understand why a vet might want you to have something like that, but you will find it useful as well.

Depends on whether you are 8 or 16.

We had a chute. The bull was breaking down the fences to visit neighbor's herd so Dad wanted to put a ring in his nose. His head was too big to fit but Dad managed to get the ring in.

The chute was very substantial. The bull made kindling out of it.

Steve are we talking under 5 minutes or over 20 ? To hand milk a cow.
