Rabid Little Hippy, I thought you might find this interesting . . . (and any other goatherds out there, too. ~ Linne
I wouldn’t say that we used all recycled materials on this one either because the base of our whole milking stanchion is made from a crate used only for a few days about twenty years ago. However, the crate has been waiting for new purpose and we were able to reuse the rest of the 2×4’s from the old rabbit shed.

It’s a very interesting approach to healing.
No doubt Jess, the RLH does. She read it yesterday. 😉 Thank you for thinking of me though, Mutti. It’s a timely reminder that I NEED to build one of these and soon. 🙂

No doubt Jess will love this Linnie 🙂
After I re-blogged, I realized she follows the site, but still . . . 🙂
