DIY Pallet Goat Milking Stand or Stancheon // Homesteading

Turning a Pallet into a Milking Stand for Goats!
In this video, I'll show you how to Build a Goat Stand Using a pallet, scraps and a simple toolkit. Starting over with this new farm brings with it all kinds of projects like this one, and I love using reclaimed and recycled materials to build them. Nothing is better than free when it comes to farm projects, especially when my end goal for this farm is sustainability. This easy DIY pallet project gets me one step closer to being fully set up for my livestock. Goat milk stands, also known as stanchions, are extremely useful when it comes to milking goats, administering shots and medication, and clipping goat hooves. I use my goat milking stanchion every single day. Enjoy a peek at our homestead where I raise dwarf goats for milk, cheese, yogurt, kefir, soap, and a thousand other things. I raise miniature donkeys as livestock guardians, and practice sustainable permaculture and regenerative farming techniques to improve the soil, raise nutrient dense produce, and share inspiration and knowledge along the way.

[@shellywelsh2316]

at 8:06 "... or to give medication." The goat is "Wait, what??" LOL

[@AnneofAllTrades]

Shelly Welsh hahahahaha that is so funny. I didn’t notice that before

[@jeanloreaud9282]

Joli travail bravo à bientôt salut Jeannot 🛠😉

[@billberry557]

I liked this video appreciate the usage of the "Wingit Design Process" for designing. (That is the one where you knew what you wanted and made it work on the fly) Great job Anne.

[@KarlBunker]

Me thinking: "Doesn't it need a ramp or something to help the goat climb up --?" [Goat hops up effortlessly] Me: "Oh yeah. They're goats." 😄

[@samurai3330]

Good Job. Greetings from Germany

[@bloodyl_uk]

Looking great in 4k Anne. 😎

[@reforzar]

Love the dynamic shots. Keep up the good work!

[@AnneofAllTrades]

I'll do my best!

[@ChrisSmith-zv1vc]

Awesome! Can't wait to see what you are going to come up with next.

[@KayleeKepford]

You are inspiring

[@finchbaby]

Love the pace of this video!! Super casual, super easy to follow, super relatable process and trial and error. Looking forward to twice a week!

[@miketipple504]

Great job at sharing a good idea! I’m new to goat farming and this answered several questions for me. Thanks!

[@waynep343]

next few pallets.. put two together with a flat board or chunk of plywood across the top.. but you want them like an A frame.. if you do a rearrange the wood on the sides of the pallet into a reverse shiplap set up.. the goats will love that.. they can jump up and walk the narrow wood slats just like walking a rock cliff face..

[@brcisna]

Hi Anne,, You make everything in a very practical way. Just mentioning,, if you ever wanted more palletts, if you go to any auto parts store they end up with palletts to no end,,on a daily basis. When in high school worked at an auto parts store. We left stacks of palletts out on loading dock , under a canopy,and it was a first come first serve,deal,I'm sure no one would do that in this day and age,,,but these places do end with them,,and would like to get rid of them somehow. Just something to think about, Glad you are setttled in,,,or getting there,,,in Twangtown,USA!

[@centercrossranch3709]

Darn, loved those! Thx for response

[@TimPiggott]

I love the relationship you have with your animals. The way you treat them must make you as happy as they are! Proverbs 12:10 💝

[@AliceAprilMusic]

So cool! Thank you for sharing

[@MisterTee2010]

The love and care you have for your animals shows in the way they behave. XXX

[@charleyl264]

Ann, You are making great progress. It's good to see that you and the animals made it safely across the country. Now you are "kind of" just over the mountain from us. We are just NE of Charlotte, NC. My grand daughter found a rectangular coffee table on the side of the road, brought it back to the farm, and made a "goat stand" out of it herself, for her goats. The top of the solid maple coffee table was high pressure laminated, so it's quite urine and rain resistant. It's lower than I would want, but she is happy with it.

[@LittleMountainLife]

Farm perfect!

[@billroberts3864]

We love your 'can do' positive attitude and wonderful smile.

[@venessarobins6813]

What a good girl Dottie is 💜 I love your ingenuity 😊 I also get called a hoarder with all the things I collect for all of my different interests! I hate being wasteful and throwing away useful things and I love to repurpose and recycle. I agree with you it’s great to just be able to use what you have instead of having to go to the store and to be ingenuitive in getting the job done.

[@michaelmueller8976]

I just love that you don’t like to waste stuff. I repurpose a bunch of stuff. Keep up the great posts Anne.❤️✝️

[@arafoumein1988]

very good

[@wangkhemshyamsunderbe7964]

Good idea

[@TheInvisibleOne1026]

I like ur sunglasses 😎

[@meganjo766]

This brought back a happy memory for me. My dad built ones of these whenI was a kid with sides and a feed troth where the goat’s head goes, no clamp.

[@valeriedarrow489]

Anne, you do such an amazing job, make things simple and I LOVE the "farm perfect"! :) Thanks for sharing your wealth of learning and information!

[@DavidWaller123]

One of the cooler builds, just because you made it with scraps.

[@cmar4076]

Pretty cool!

[@marty01957]

Great job, Anne! Head stanchion was a perfect fit!

[@teac117]

That's like a magical hoarder box. You just asked for something and it's there in the next open bin!

[@leebarnhart9725]

Hi Annie! Something from nothing. You're look'n like a farmer!

[@richardlaymance9984]

I never realized how cute goats were.

[@donaldtrabeaux1305]

Awesome 😎

[@johnniebunton4978]

Hello great video love watching them. Thanks for making the videos. You keep me from being depressed when i watch your and April videos.

[@Bill.L.Carroll]

Ah the trusty old pallets. 👍🏽 Farm perfect build on the fly. 😉👌🏽 Nice one, Anne.

[@MrTWIGGYRUTH]

Brilliant thsnkyou

[@tonyburelle6633]

Pretty cool, should be durable too, being made of hardwood, simple enough plan, great video Anne, thanks

[@WattsWoodenWonders]

I love reusing materials whenever possible. I also collect all the hardware I get from things because you never know when you're going to need something to hold stuff together. And why go pay for some hardware when there is so much available for free or included in other things you buy. I bought some T.V. mounting brackets and they came with every screw, washer, and spacers known to man practically for any T.V. you could ever mount it to. Waste says some, future projects says I!

[@Namtov]

Hmm. I wonder if that is allowed to use on the kids… Cleaning ears, tying shoe lashes , coming, taking out piercings, add a little table for homework etc, etc

[@hpekristiansen]

It is called a Pillory. I have not seen any for sale - guess you have to build your own.

[@ejtakach]

Farm Perfect! I'll use that, even though I'm not on a farm!

[@genevievegreene1595]

😂 8:06 that goat was like "medi-WHO?!!" Lol

[@markengineeringSA]

So medieval ,yet so effective 👍👍☺️

[@walterrider9600]

thank you

[@Sydsmom]

I loved watching that. You are so talented and I love how you love your animals!

[@Pembroke.]

So you put the goats in the stocks - cool

[@hermannstraub3743]

Those goats would melk themselfes. Very adorable.

[@Davidjaques6538]

Awesome vide keep up the great work.

[@northshorepx]

what a really cool build. loved seeing you getting back to your passions!

[@Davidjaques6538]

Great job

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

[@FredMcIntyre]

Awesome job Anne! 😃👍🏻🐐🥛👊🏻

[@blackdog850]

A very enjoyable video! Oh wait! ...and you have a POND on the place too?!? How Cool! Thanks for sharing! :)

[@sandravukovic2901]

Haha, the goat was like "what the heck was that about!?" :-)))

[@CooperFamilyHomestead]

Great idea!

[@opengatefarmstead3609]

The look on that goats face when you said, "hoof trimming" haha nice diy salvage build! I need to throw one of these together soon for our minis:)

[@Kris_at_WhiteOaksFarm]

We've got the space, need to build fence, but my lady has talked about milk goats... Nice project. I've got lots of "scrap", just need the goats.

[@Grunt49]

Great recycling.

[@RodrigoSilvaAdv83]

Que show!!!

[@SteveC38]

That's pretty Kool👍

[@bobbonham4823]

Great use of "stuff" found around the farmstead.

[@1977grad]

In my next life I want to be you!!

[@TeamProsperity]

Hey Anne, love these videos! You’re new video guy does a great job with the camera. Looks like things are shaping up oh n btw, when ur hubby acts up, you could lock him up in that thing 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Great job on it, I really enjoyed watching. More please 😁 I also gotta say that out of all the channels I have subscribed to, I like and enjoy yours the most 👍

[@dannyoktim9628]

Peed on in protest . . . .that's funny, never heard that before

[@hippoandbearmakes3416]

Farm perfect describes all my projects 😂😂

[@donbennett3268]

“Farm perfect”, lol. We always referred to it as “barn carpentry”. Same difference. :)

[@jackhanna1692]

You Goats girl. I'll have the crackers an wine when that goat cheese is done.

[@TheMyeloman]

Dolly: I really gotta get a new agent, these gigs are killing my acting career! 🤣

[@GibClark]

👍👍👍👍 always gotta have a parts bin!

[@QuickSpeedShop]

Great video...and that thumbnail? Winning!

[@AnneofAllTrades]

Jacqueline is the queen of thumbnails. We’ve got some real good ones coming down the pike!

[@tadbarber2735]

👍🏻 doesn’t look as muddy there as it is here

[@scottsimpey2965]

I remember as a kid, like mid elementary age, our neighbors had had a few goats and they had a milking stand that was very similar to yours. It was a great experience learning how to milk the goats. Great video with using reclaimed materials and knowing hot to and adapting to the materials that you have to make the most use out of it.

[@LoveofChocolate18]

Thank you for the video! Did you also think about rounding over the inside of the head holding portion?

[@BK245595]

Neat

[@georgestolz4705]

Hi Anne. Very nice stand. Years ago i used to use pallet lumber for making everything until they started treating it with some kind of insecticide. What a loss of lumber. Have you encountered the treated pallets? Best regards

[@johnd5805]

I love goat milk and cheese. Hmmmm behavior training device?? Like when my grandson is being a rascal.

[@Beakerzor]

wow, everything battery operated, so awesome! so... can we finally say "gone are the days of plugged in hand power tools"?

[@AnneofAllTrades]

Gone are those days on my shop, that’s for sure! I left pretty much everything that has a cord on it in Seattle. There are just so many better battery options available now!

[@martinsachs3837]

realise the goat looks o.k. with this. just cant get over the medival devices that look so dang similar...

[@daniealsneed6766]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@hanpretzel2531]

Thank you for your video ☺ what kind of saw are you using? I'm getting goats in about a month an need to build one of these

[@Bergalicious38]

Do goat nibbles hurt? That outro was perfect!

[@mariamarcucci6556]

First!!!! Xoxoxoxo (Love your channel)

[@markhaas8938]

If memory serves the head piece is called a stanchion.

[@jeff3238]

What’s a goat stand? Oh, about 2 feet tall, depending on the goat.

[@intercoursechef]

What's a henway? Ooh, about tree fiddy!

[@gungadinn]

Anne, any thoughts of adding Nigerian Dwarf goats? From the research I've done, they are great milk producers and are a hoot to watch.

[@AnneofAllTrades]

That’s what I’ve got ;)

[@gungadinn]

@@AnneofAllTrades+ Your video made the goats look large. I'm accustomed to a goat around 24 inches at the shoulder and weighing in around 60-80 pounds. Thanks for the response.

[@kathleenturley1561]

You are amazing. It would be nice to have a little feeding trough for her to eat while you are milking??? She might be more content that way and not bolt at milking time.

[@AnneofAllTrades]

Oh yes there is a trough where I actually milk, this sunset spot just looked better for the video ;)

[@kpenner47]

I should make one for my dog to clip her nails.

[@2300Kenzie]

I'm working on modifying a gym bag with hole cutouts to suspend my dog while I trim her nails. It should go much faster for me (& her). With enough treats, she should be OK with it.

[@lst1194]

OMG all this time and all your videos and im just now noticing you're a lefty.

[@AnneofAllTrades]

Ha! Well I’m actually ambidextrous so that’s probably why you didn’t tune into it before, I might have been using my other hand!

[@ToymakersToolbox]

Your stall material looks like SYP. Be honest: How much of your move was prompted by the unavailability of southern yellow pine here in the PNW? 😄

[@sadidiker]

🖒🖒😙😙

[@mikethompson6713]

Attach a feed bucket

[@jeffforbes3772]

You smacked Buddy's head with the gait. Is he pissed?

[@michaelnormanwilson]

Hey Anne, Can i make a stand like that for my dog? Would a dog that dislikes nail trimming do better?

[@AnneofAllTrades]

If your dog is anything like mine I don’t think that would be a good idea 🤣

[@centercrossranch3709]

Your Hoodie link is not working. Can you fix that

[@AnneofAllTrades]

The company went out of business
