[QUOTE="slvr98svt, post: 1270721, member: 17251"] Well, after 6 years of making do with panels for corrals/working facilities and makeshift winter sheds it is time for me to build what I hope to be an all inclusive facility. Quick background is I am in western NY so I overwinter in a pasture and feed dry hay and baleage in round bale feeders currently. As you can see from my drawing below I am trying to knockout a couple birds with 1 stone and have some maneuverability with this setup. Basically I want to put an L shape building up, 25' x 50' for a "run-in" shed for the cows whether for winter or if needed for sacrifice pasture. Attached to that would be a 30x50 with extension over alley/working chute. Again this is going to be for a complete winter pasture as well, so I am going to put a Ritchie waterer in there. The red lines dictate possible removable fences or cattle panels so I can adjust as needed. Basically I am wondering if there is a problem with using the run-in shed as a built in bud box system to get into the alley? The green fenced in area in my plans is 75'x75' and plan on making it out of guard rail 3 high. My pasture in the picture would all be located at the top of the building and behind, so I would run them in next to the building. Like I said the red line would be adjustable depending on what I am trying to accomplish for that working session or all open possibly for winter or seperated 2 groups both outside the shed and inside via panels. The open sides on the hay barn would only be until I can get everything enclosed or figure out a good door system. The second picture was a rough beginning sketch before some modifications to my plans. Let me know what mistakes you guys see and would do differently.
