We're currently using a cattle panel wrapped around the round bale but the younger horned goats get stuck in it quite frequently. So, we're looking for a (hopefully somewhat cheap) round bale feeder that would work good for goats.

Get a pair of bolt cutters and cut out some of the squares so the cattle panel holes are bigger. Then use an angle grinder to grind off the sharp ends. That should do the trick.
