[Ag-eq] PSI setting for goats

[Nella Foster]

Jewel:

Sorry for the delay, things have been very busy here.

My machine is set on 12psi, that is what the company recommended and they
preset it for me.  It would be very hard for me to set it by myself sense it
has a visual gage showing you the amount of pressure.  

It seems comfortable for both Bonnie and the goats.

I don't know if one setting would work if Bonnie were a larger breed cow.
The owner of the company said lots of people are using the machines this way
on Jerseys and Nubians.

Nella!  I have been worried for your goats re you using the same vacuum
setting for both Bonny and them.
Perhaps you have your machine set for an intermediate psi, lighter than
normal for a cow, but a bit heavier than ideal for a goat.
I have checked with a person on my specialist goatkeeper's list and she
tells me that her machine is set at 12PSI.  She was told that anything
heavier than that will, in time, damage the goats' udders.
Please forgive me for interfering, but I am, honestly,  concerned.
When I was machine milking goats, I had 2 raised bales and 2 sets of cups so
could milk 2 at a time.
