Rustic and Handmade – Refine Your Raw Milk Dairy Milking Stanchion

stanchion blog post

Today I am showing off my rustic, homemade milking stanchion due to popular request!!

First, though – have you heard my raw milk pricing podcast and filled out the free worksheets to determine what you should be charging?

If not – here you go:

#009 How to Price Your Farm Products for Profit (Part 1)

I’ve learned in this business of raw milk micro-dairying that you don’t want to invest a lot of extra money building a fancy infrastructure if you don’t have to.  Keep to the basics, use leftovers around the farm to build, trade for labor, your money will be needed in many other areas (like feed, mainly!!).

Also, I explain why I use rubber mats vs. bringing concrete into the barn.

Watch the video, and then let’s continue the conversation below in the comments… tell me what you take away from seeing my stanchion, and what, if anything you will change/add?  More questions? Ask them in the comment section, too, and let’s talk!

Thank you, as always, for reading, watching, and adding your genius to the conversation!

Here are the measurements for the stanchion:
Height – 18″ off ground
entrance ramp – 6’6″ long
flat part where we milk them — 6’6″ long
top of exit ramp which is flat — 4′
exit ramp 5’3″

Here’s to your raw milk super-stardom! Share this post with those you know milking cows or even just thinking about it in the future.
