[QUOTE="NCLiz 3, post: 1105325, member: 21944"] Yes, I saw the hooks and skid features but I really don't think a hobby farmer is going to have a tractor that goes high enough to lift it. If they have one at all. And then there will still be times you will want to go in it, like putting bedding down for one, and you will always be banging your head. I have had cattle around, and in, metal barns and they tear them up by rubbing on the inside and outside and pushing the insides out when there is no wood structure to stop them. Plus, if the door is over 36 in high my cows would get down on their knees to put their head and shoulders in and flip it over just to get in. Or push it down the road if it's not anchored down. It might be OK for a hobby farm calf operation but for cow/calf, the cows will tear it up, if the calves don't. But, that's just my experience. Liz [/QUOTE]
