I got the final measurements! After I caculate and look up some things, I'll post my estimate prices and area of the pen. :)

Ok- I was thinking of extending the pen into the woods a little bit- but with several old silos and a junk barn, (which wouldn't be good for the goats to get into...) I don't know if it is worth it. It is about 30'x50', but most of that is piles of sticks/limbs that are cut down, and they wouldn't have much at all to browse through. IF I didn't have that part, they'd have about a 50' by 70
' ish feet.

If I were you I probably would wait to expand the pen in to the woods. The current pen my goats have was built in parts and slowly expanded over time and it has never caused issues. Since you are going to feed your goats hay and grain the goats would do fine in a 50'-70 lot. You can always expand the pen in the future if you need the space.

That's what I thought. :)
