We just got 3 does, after not having any since we bought the present farm. So no goat facilities, but an extra horse stall after getting rid of a lot of horses.
Coupla things: I built a little hay feeder for grass hay- measured their little noses, made slats just far enough apart, etc.- and they just pull the hay out for sport and lay on it. So have a better solution now- the aisle fence was a livestock (corral) panel, which won't hold a goat, so we put hog wire on the inside. Then put a bale of hay up against the panel, in the aisle, and they eat it through the hog wire. Very little waste.
Also, the key to fencing is an electric wire at "butt" height (with stand-off insulators), and another on the top. They HATE juice- couple of jolts, and they will treat your fence with complete respect.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
