can I use something like this vs. a "dairy" milk pail?

The dairy ones are so expensive.

You need to be sure there are no seams or rivets on the inside, where milk can remain and go sour. I have an old milking pail I use as a compost pail!

Kristina,

Hoegger has an Econo Stainless Steel Pail that looks just a little bigger (5 liters) with a cover for only $19.50, it is item #12D-5.

I got my stainless steel buckets from Tractor Supply in the dog section. They are dog water buckets. I love them. They are just the right size for each goat. Then I went ahead and bought the big 4 gallon tote from Hoeggar. Very handy thing to have when all the goats are giving good milk. I just dump it all in the tote and put that in a bucket of ice water while milking. It has a lid too.

We used old gallon size ice cream buckets and tied our goats inside the barn door. I'd sit on a 5 gallon bucket with the goat standing in the door and milk that way.
