I had to get more photos of my new toy. As you can see, Finn easily fits even with his large and ever-expanding horns. The only problem is that there is only one neck width setting, and my boys are all too wide. I fixed this by clipping a carabiner to the top of the neck piece and clipping that into the latch to give it a couple extra inches. Works like a charm!
Where's the food!?!
Sputnik doesn't like the stanchion. He has hated being restrained from the moment he was born and this hasn't really changed, but he is learning that he must tolerate it sometimes. Being an intelligent lad, he has discovered that most of the time, the benefits of cooperation outweigh the costs. "Nom-nom-nom-nom!"
And the top opens up for the convenient release of horned beasties!
And because Sputnik is so cute...
I love that this stanchion is tall enough for my milking stool to slide underneath out of the way. The increased height is also making my back and neck really happy. I can actually sit up straight while milking! Yay for fun and practical Christmas presents!
