[QUOTE="ClinchValley, post: 1349680, member: 24719"] Well. As the title states, we have hardly any shade trees here. Maybe a tree or two here or there, but nothing substantial enough to facilitate our small herd. With our farm being about 1/2 stocked, it's had me worrying about the years to come. The animals have toughed through it thus far, but I am sure it has costed us. So, if it is going to cost money to go without shade, we might as well get some shade for these animals. Right? Money is money. If it's getting spent one way or another, why not spend it improving and not spend it by losing. Since trees grow too slow to help me anytime soon, I have been thinking of building something in areas with zero shade. Roofed and open. Anyone have any ideas? I have access to plenty of locust and cedar trees. Do people do this? Only wonder i have is would the cattle rub it to pieces within a couple of years. Anyone build shade for their animals? [/QUOTE]
