Sorry about your hands Liz! I hurt my thumb and forefinger a month or so ago and it was SO frustrating trying to get anything done.
My goats are a meat goat, and I don't milk them (although I have tried a few times). They were obviously not cooperative.
I just watched an amazing video about Mongolian herders. The woman milked a dozen or more goats in a few minutes, right in the pen with about a hundred goats milling around. She would just grab a leg, pull it out of the group, and give it a quick milk from between the back legs. The goat just stood placidly while she worked. I was in awe. My goats don't stand placidly for anything!
