Milking machines

[rialdu]

Anyone know where I can purchase a milking machine for dexter cows? A web site or phone number would be great. Thanks...

I thought they came with one when the came into their milk
Might look at a dairygoat supply place. The inflations owuld be small enough for a dexter and may be able to be modified easily for 4 vs 2

Do they require smaller set up? I'm just curious and did a google search there is one US dexter dairy in NY state with a web site. They stated that they are hand milking three cows and plan to go to an older 1940s milker set up for four cow.Here is the site link mayby it will help [www.fingerlakesdextercreamery.com/microdairy.html] :idea:

Found milking machines on e-Bay. Might try there.

Get ahold of your nearest dairy supply dealer or DeLaval.Surge, dealer etc. A properly set up milking machine isn;t a simple piece of equipment and does require maintenance, i.e. regular thorough cleaning with chemicals and replacement of the inflations. Seems like vacuum pumps are always the biggest problem.
