Don't go cheap on your pens. They are literally your life. Loading stubborn calves with an angry momma is bad enough. Have a separate area after dividing that they stay away from the calves. Preferably somewhere in front of the truck/trailer so the calves will want to get to them and then go towards the trailer. I'm currently on a cattle time out while we redo fences and put in irrigation. Will jump back next year before winter.
I've narrowed that word down to one party use, and they had absolutely no concerns during the previous administration.
In a surprise, Alexa has been the most used feature. The ability to ask it about something pertaining to the town/area you are driving through is amazing. Local tax rates, demographics etc. Then the Barndo is alexa enabled so it's great for turning the porch lights on when we drive up at night.




Dems: We need to pay people more.....

OP ( also a Dem) You're going to have to pay people more. :wah:


It's ok because she's a democrat and democrats like to grow a heavy handed government through their civil disobedience.
I'll shed a tear at 10.
WTF our USAID $ should have been doing, if it was necessary to defraud us those $ in the first place.

We had a metal pole barn up and had plans drawn, when they did the slab they knocked the depth of the footers off of the cement around the poles, which were 6' deep.

The barndo option really lets you get creative with the floor plans and the ceilings without all the extra roof work, You can do what you suggested, but I'd get the floor plan i wanted before getting the building. We got lucky in that 50x90 did give us the floor plan we wanted, but we did sacrifice on shop/garage area.


Few years back....

Re weld plates, don’t let heat build up, stitch weld the different sides and let it cool down. On one of my porch corners, the cement cracked. I came back later with a 6’ deep column that also went up 30” and it was reinforced with rebar and took a sledge and knocked off the compromised section of cement prior to the pour.

We added a porch with awning that shields the south facing wall and windows from any direct sunlight in the heat of the year. The mini split really doesn’t even start to load up until after lunch.
