[QUOTE="Putangitangi, post: 1526680, member: 5956"] My current, uncovered race runs North-South (I'm in the southern hemisphere, so will turn all my directions around so as to work for Northern Hemisphere thinking), with some big trees shading the Southern end. My cows walk from bright sunlight into the shadow when they go up the race. In the early morning or late afternoon, there are dark bar shadows caused by rails. I have a design for new yards all laid out on my table, which will include a roof over part of the race and the crush, and need to go lay it out on the ground in the next couple of days. I'm trying to decide which way to lay it: facing South so the animals move with the sun in their eyes in under the new covered area, or North, so they walk into a covered area with the light coming from behind? What do you think? How does your set-up work? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
