[QUOTE="Goodlife, post: 887455, member: 17226"] Looking at 60 x 40 for the barn with an 8 foot overhand. My design is to have a holding pen with the overhand covering 8 feet of the 25 x 25 holding pen. This feeds into my crowding pen to the chute where I will have a headgate. Also planning on having 2 horse stables in case my daughter convinces me to purhase a couple of horses. Yes, I would have to either drive across the apsture or build a road which is of course additional work and expense. The west (left) side of the property is along a gravel driveway I share. Along the fence line by the pole shed I am building a gravel parking lot planned to have go right up to the barn so I would have a gravel parking lot fom the pole shed to the barn, also connecting it to the gravel driveway along the south edge of the pasture. I thought I was all set but am having second thoughts since I would like to bring the cattle into the corral around the barn frequently to feed them. Daily really so they would not be afraid of the corral or the barn. But it seems pretty far to bring them in each day from the farthest paddocks. But I sure like the idea of being able to see the barn and corral from the fence as well as the access being so handy. [/QUOTE]
