I know I've posted pictures of this barn, but I can't seem to find them in my phone. It'd be hard to prove that a barn ever stood here, by looking at this picture. Believe or not a 36' x 48' weaning/livestock shed was standing here until about 7:00 this morning.
I took a big hit from a tornado in 2006, and lost everything. Another one came through in about 2015 and got a barn and did about 50k in damage to the house.
Same as the previous two times, I' more thankful that nobody was injured than I am worried about a little property damage. Ive pretty well decided to not build this barn back. My own fault, but I was pretty under insured on the thing, and it just doesn't seem practical to build it back. It only sees use about 3 months out of the year, and thankfully there was nothing in it at the time of the storm.
I might salvage some scrap, and build a roof over my squeeze chute. The tin doesn't look very salvageable though.
Anyway, everybody is alright. Nobody was hurt, and the cattle and horses are fine. The only asset any of us have is our family. Everything else is of no consequence.
