[QUOTE="IluvABbeef, post: 597177, member: 3739"] Yeah I need to have it done before I put any new cows on the farm, not going to take a life risk leaving things as they are now, when its better to take a financial risk putting it all together/redoing it to make things safer. And you know what, the best thing is is that at least I know what has to be improved. At least I know what are the weak spots and the strong spots and the spots that are opportunities to improvement and the spots that are a threat and should be taken out. Like for instance, the old, old loading chute needs to go, and the crowding pen is designed wrong. So, I'd be taking this current design of facility (not drawn to scale): [img]http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s235/IluvABbeef/scan0001.jpg[/img] And converting it into this (with much thanks to the help of Knersie [also not drawn to scale]): [img]http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s235/IluvABbeef/scan0001-1.jpg[/img] With a bit of taking out, reusing and recycling, taking out something in one place and putting it in another (presumably better place) and buying a few new things, this plan should work well.
