	DESIGN YOUR OWN GOAT A.I. STAND Now available with a choice of headpieces and heights, our portable, all-metal A.I. stand holds your doe securely in place, so the inseminator can stand directly behind her. The A.I. stand is made up of your choice of base and headpiece plus our A.I. Stand Kit. The A.I. Stand Kit hardware easily bolts to the headpiece. Attach the two arms and sling, and you're ready to go. When it's not in use as an A.I. stand, use it for a portable milk stand. Our bases are constructed of 1" square steel tubing, heliarc welded, with an expanded steel mesh platform 48" long and 20" wide. Folds for ease of transport. Choose a 12" or 16" high base. Then choose either a Standard or Horned Goat headpiece. Be sure to add the A.I. Stand Kit. All three components of your A.I. stand require extra shipping charges. However, all three of these shipping charges add up to less than last year's shipping charge for a complete A.I. Stand. For shipment to foreign countries, Alaska, and Hawaii, please check with us before ordering.
