A Goat Milking Stand
If you milk goat isn't all that cooperative, here's a goat milking stand you can build yourself for minimal expense that will hold her securely.

Cheap mesh repeaters... if you have a solar patio light that already charges a 18650 battery, then you can use the seeed studio xiao module for $23. https://a.co/d/04WBxe5e
Otherwise if you want to build something that needs a solar charge controller, get the RAK 4631 starter kit. https://a.co/d/03hLSa40 .
I tested several 900mhz "fold over" antennas yesterday and they had an SWR of 1.5:1 when straight and 1.2:1 when bend at 45 and 90 degrees.
I'm just a sucker for a "real" antenna. You can find fiberglass 5.8db 900mhz antennas for around $32-$35. They will be around 18inches long. Be aware you will need a short cable to adapt the IPEX connector on the mesh boards to an N connector.

Wheat exploded in price yesterday (limit up) after USDA forecast that over 8 million acres of HRW (Hard Red Wheat) will be abandoned in the Great Plains
That's 37% of planted acreage reported in the March Prospective Planting report, and means U.S. farmers this year will harvest their smallest wheat crop since 1972.
This comes on top of already record-low planted acreage heading into the season (lowest since 1919 in some metrics). Global supplies are tightening too.
Expect bread, pasta, baked goods, and processed foods to climb in the coming months — and pressure on livestock feed could push meat/dairy prices higher as well. This is another brick in the wall of rising food costs.
Grow your own food — that is the answer. Stock seeds, expand the garden, learn to preserve, and connect with local growers.

When you setup a repeater you need to log into the remote access and the remote command console and enter the command "powersaver on".
The way these repeaters work is there is a logic processor (either ESP32 or nRF52840) and a LORA radio chip. The radio chip is always on waiting to decode the channel it's listening to.
The processor goes to sleep between packets. Afterall , there's nothing to do between packets.
So the radio chip will wake up the processor, the processor will decide to relay the packet or not and go back to sleep. This allows these repeaters to last weeks on a battery.
