5 gallon stainless milk cans

hello i am in the market for some stainless milk cans any suggestions im looking for something i can lift alone so a 10 gallon one is too big

How about the 5 gallon "corny kegs" they use for soda?  Homebrewers use them all the time.

I prefer a 3 gallon size as I would rather carry one on each side than balance one heavy can with both arms. 5 gallon cans have two handles like this one and are difficult to carry. 3 gallon cans like this one with a plunge lid and swing handle are easy to handle and don't spill.

I have seen 5 gal Delaval milk cans on Ebay from time to time. The prices seem pretty reasonable.

I have a 7 gallon Delaval milk can that I don't use.  I would be willing to sell it for $60 plus shipping.  PM me if you are interested.

I have been thinking about getting a stainless milk can also. It would make it easier to fetch milk from those local farmers who are willing to sell a few gallons of fresh milk.

I came across these folks on EBAY: Shenandoah Homestead.  They have an EBAY Store and sell a 4 gallon pail for about $45.

I collect my milk from my dairy every week in 3 gallon corney kegs. They work well and much lighter than the 5 gallon kegs.

I give my dairy friend a 5 gallon plastic bucket with top, which he fills at my arrival, and sometimes a day before (depending on milking day). They are about $15. When I get home, I transfer to 6 liter platic containers (to place in fridge) for my day's cheesemaking.
