Dansha Family

Founded by Dan Beffa in 1995, Dansha Farms began as a small hobby farm in Florida. With a passion for business and the joy of goat farming and milking, Dan decided to pair his two passions and start Dansha Farms with the goal of “making hand milking easy for anyone!” Hand milking made easy!

“Back about 12 years ago I noticed when milking my goats by hand I was getting pain in my milking hand. This pain got worse over the years and I had a very hard time getting my Goat milk. I began to look for a milking machine. To my surprise the cost was out of my reach. Then it came to me being a retired Aircraft Mechanic I remember bleeding the breaks of the Aircraft with a hand vacuum pump and a container. Wow I was onto something. So I went into my shop and put together a bottle, some 1/4 inch line, a syringe attached to the 1/4 inch line and a vacuum pump. I tried it on one of my goats and wow I not only got a lot of milk it did not hurt my hands to milk! I had invented the hand Powered Vacuum Milking Machine.”

~ Dan Beffa, President, Dansha Farms

HAND MILKING

MADE EASY

Our motto is “Hand Milking Made Easy!” and anyone who has ever tried to hand milk a cow, goat, or sheep understands just how difficult it is to get the technique right. But not only is using an incorrect technique ineffective, it is the leading cause of mastitis, a very painful condition, in lactating animals. But even for the most experienced hand milker, the process is slow – topping out at about six animals per hour. Thus the Dansha Farms line up of powered vacuum pump milkers was born.
