Build DIY Goat Milker Machine | Nigerian Dwarf Goats

We built our own milk machine for our dairy goats and you can too! I have a bad habit of trying to save money by buying cheap tools. Invariably, I end up buying the good tool later, and wishing I hadn't wasted my money on the cheap version. We didn't want to do that in this case. We could have just shelled out $2,200 for a very nice system that would have been pre-made and ready to go. But since we do like to save money, we chose to buy all the components individually and put it together ourselves. It's not that hard when you understand every step of the process. This system cost us under $1,000 (in 2023), which is well worth it to us at this time in our operation. It gives us all the functionality of the more expensive system, and just as good of components. We could have made this for less money, but we spent extra on every piece (except the pulsator) for higher quality components, on the theory that you get what you pay for. You'll need these basic components: -Vacuum Pump. We used a Voit 5.5 CFM oil-less pump. -Vacuum hoses and milk line. We got our milk line from Hamby Supply, and our regular hose from our local hardware store. -Various pvc fittings. You'll have to figure this one out for yourself, but it's not complicated. -Regulator. You need to run about 12 PSI in your system. Pulsator --- DO NOT BUY A CHEAP MILKER WITHOUT A PULSATOR; YOU WILL NOT BE HAPPY AND NEITHER WILL YOUR GOATS! -Vacuum gauge. Mount this at the output of your manifold for best accuracy. -Inflations. We used Top Flow Z inflations, and like them very well so far.
