[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1719930, member: 5381"] A hay barn to me is a no brainer. A well built structure not only gives you a return on your hay investment, it adds long term value to the ranch. I spent about 25K on my combination barn about 10 years ago. I would value it at 40K today. It is a 60 x 60 steel structure that has pens and a chute under one half, hay storage under the other. It also provides shade. I pulled some three year old hay from mine yesterday and the cows ate it up the same as this years stuff. Waste was very little. If you are going to keep some hay for reserve, its invaluable. In my climate the net wrap will deteriorate some even under a structure so about three years is about all you want to keep. Clean it out on a good hay year and start over with a fresh. [/QUOTE]
