If you would have ever been in the hog, chicken or turkey business you would have some nice barns to store hay in. :lol: Oh, brooder houses make decent grain storage also, especially if you have a skid steer.grannysoo":n1pzb3nr said:And to those that are going to make comments about not having a hay barn, don't bother unless you have the time and money to come build one for me.

That's right, I've got one that was first a chicken house till the layer business went broke then it was changed over to a hog barn for 80 sows, had fully automated water and feed system till a neighborhood was built on the south side of it ( the prevailing winds blow out of the south here so go figure) so then we had a empty barn after the court verdict.1982vett":1pblzrmr said:If you would have ever been in the hog, chicken or turkey business you would have some nice barns to store hay in. :lol: Oh, brooder houses make decent grain storage also, especially if you have a skid steer.grannysoo":1pblzrmr said:And to those that are going to make comments about not having a hay barn, don't bother unless you have the time and money to come build one for me.
