So I picked my free futon up today from a friend.  Now to make improvements to the one you posted.

 

The catch tray need to be wider IMO.  LOL  That's about it.  I'm also gonna build a roof over it so it doesn't get soaked in the rain.  LOL

I don't know.  It really does have the potential to catch a goat with horns. LOL  Second thinking .......

wonder if wrapping them in pipe insulation would make the gap small enough so they don't get stuck

this pallet one would be a cheap option and might be better for the goats
