Thanks to @Latestarter, @SheepGirl and @OneFineAcre we figured out what we wanted for our goat's house/shed. It is almost finished, all it needs is a door handle. ;)

It is 8' x 6' I think, although it looks a little bigger in the pictures.

Here is the hay bag. It is low because if I put it any higher, the goats will jump up against it with their front hooves to eat from the top of the bag. If it's low, for some reason they don't.

Congrats! That looks really nice! Maybe you can build a wall mounted hay crib on one of the short ends? That way you don't have to worry about them climbing up on it or possibly getting tangled in the rope. Not to be critical (there's an OCD thread on here someplace...) but the door diagonal support should be from lower left to upper right corner. The way it is now it won't support the door and keep it from separating/sagging.
