Pictures of our ranch

Here are some picture of the new area we are clearing and the new barn we are putting up. It's so awesome seeing things take shape!
This is what it looked like not long ago:

Wow, nice! Lots of work, I see. I like it how you started out building a big-enough barn. We first built an 8'x16', then added another 8'x16' to it, hoping to eventually add another 16'x16' and make it a barn, istead of a milking barn/chicken coop. May be someday.

Your 4 legged supervisors have done a great job! There's just enough trees for cooling but not block the circulation. Are you going to close in the sides or leave them open? Either way the critters will enjoy it. You will too I bet!

Thanks Olga and Linda. Olga, our barn is 36x24 I am hopping it is going to be big enough. For now it will, but in a few years we may need to ad on. I am just so excited about it now! My husband is doing such a wonderful job!
Linda, we are planning on completely closing in 3 sides, with some ventilation on the top. We haven't completely decided on the front yet. We are thinking of closing in the bottom 5 or so ft and putting cattle panel on top. But we just haven't decided. 12 feet will be a completely closed in feed room, 12 feet will be a milking room, that leaves 24x24 for the cows. I'm just hoping it's done before our first calve gets here =)

It looks great, what a nice area you have. I love having a big barn, it's a life saver sometimes.
