A dwarven civilization, even if overflowing with food, must still move its animals from pasture to pasture like nomads.  A more permanent solution would be the "Feeding trough"

The feeding trough is a rectangular lidless box created by carpenters.  They are placed in pastures and stocked with the appropriate food by animal caretakers.  Animals will congregate around the trough and not starve.  This will allow for a more permanent pen/pasture, even in an all stone area.  Almost all grazing animals may use the trough.  In times of GREAT desperation, Dwarves may eat from the trough, but get a bad thought  "was humiliated by being forced to eat like an animal lately"

Generally the more feeding troughs the better, as few will cause fights between animals.

It may be a little, too much to ask for but insane dwarves also can eat from the trough...

Only stark raving mad dwarves though. I'm not sure that melancholy ones would have the will to live anymore and beserk dwarves would probably more interested in sticking a spear into your face than stuffing their face.

They should be able to be made at masons' workshops, and forges definitely.
