Goat stansion?
#17
Hey, that's exactly the same milking stanchion I have! I wondered where my friend found the instructions to make it. It's very nice and very sturdy for my does, but you definitely need to make it bigger (and probably heavier) if you want to make one for pack goats. I would probably use 4x4's for the legs instead of 2x4's, and something wider and heavier duty for the pieces that go around the neck. It holds my does just fine, but Cuzco doesn't come close to fitting on it, and he would make matchsticks out of it even if he could fit. The hole for the neck would have to be wider, which means you definitely need wider boards to start or you won't have much wood left to hold the thing together. For a bigger goat I would also use something heavier than that hook and screw eye to clamp it shut.
