The Right Equipment
Posted on Apr 27 in Behind the Scenes, Food Pornby NikaPrint
I have been utterly submerged in the process of milking our newly freshened dairy goat herd. We are milking 7 goats now, twice a day, whew. We use a machine that requires washing etc so there is still quite a lot of work to do.
Since the kids are not all weaned yet, some of them get some of this milk by bottle, the rest goes to making cheese!
After each milking, I stand at our sink and rinse and scrub to get the milking lines and container clean.
Cleanliness is next to cheesemaking.
Until recently, we had this expensive residential faucet that malfunctioned almost from day one (anger).
The leakage got so bad we had to invest in a NEW faucet and I didnt want to experience anything but simple reliable water delivery. For this reason we bought the commercial pre-rinse faucet you see above and below.
I use that hose to direct high velocity hot water through my milking lines and into the stainless steel milk container. Things have never been cleaner!

Oh, how cool is that. We raised goats when I was little. More as pets though and not for milking, that’s a lot of work and we left that to our friends that kept milking goats. Glad you got a faucet that works for you!
