milking machine - advice needed

Hi all

Im looking to buy a second hand portable milking machine for my goats, which could in the future be used for a cow, just wondering if any of you could give me some advice as to what to buy and more importantly where to get one. I have seen ones on ebay but a lot of them are for collection only in England and as I live in Ireland this is impossible. I have seen a site on ebay where there are ones being sold from the Ukraine by an American based seller. I know this sounds dodgy but the seller has been on ebay since 2003 and has 100% feedback but still Im a bit wary about purchasing from them.

Any advice on any of the above would be great, thanks in advance

Conor :goat:

Have you tried Goat Nutrition? They sell second hand equipment and also sell something they call "Goat mini milker" for £100 under their milking machines section.

Ascott.biz sell a goat/sheep milking machine or a cow milking machine but they are the best part of £1K :shock:
