Do you already know about http://fiascofarm.com/goats/ ? They are the single best online source of goat info IMHO. They also have really good plans for a milk stand. I've used the one I built using their pattern for over five years and it is still going strong. http://fiascofarm.com/goats/milkstand.html I do not use a mat on mine, as I find it helpful for there to be a gap in the boards for milk to run through if the bucket gets kicked, which is inevitable.
