Project

[randiliana]

Here is what we have been working on for the last couple weeks. Coming from the father-in-law's place. Plans are to close it all in, and install some stalls for calving, as well as having a loafing area. Part of it will be a shop too, and we plan on building a small insulated room for storing stuff as well as thawing out the odd cold calf. It will sure be nice to have next March, especially if it is cold. Our old barn only has 5 stalls, not nearly enough when we get a cold snap at calving. It is 32' x 56'.

Just about ready to go

Hooked up

And they're off....

Just about home with it.

Where it is going...

Had to cut the fence and pull a few posts to get it there.

In place

Thats pretty cool. Dare I ask how far you had to move it and what it cost to do it?

 

[randiliana]

We moved it about 25 miles and the cost was about $4000.

Seems to me that moving it was quite a project. Congratulations on the successful completion of said project. New calves will appreciate it I'm sure. On second thought, those dumb greedy bovines do not appreciate anything. But you humans will,

I like the 2X4's bracing up the stack of square bales. I always got a bad time if my stacks fell over.
