I had a bit of time at lunch today so was playing around with Illustrator and came up with some plans so you can visualize what I had in mind a little better. In each picture, a square in the grid represents a tile. The footprints are how I imagine it, but the heights etc. can be changed to make it fit into the game.
1) The milk pen/wool pen - 4x6 footprint - Houses 3 animals, takes one worker, produces slightly less produce per animal than current animal pens, but more per worker as there are three animals. Costs domesticated animal (3), building supplies (1), stone (x) to build. The building supplies are because it is an "advanced' building over the current smaller animal pens...

3) When you build them together, it looks like this... (I also had a go at texturing)
