Subject: RE: New cattle shed/Old barn


NW IA
The height adds little to the cost and contributes greatly to air quality, the sun reaches pretty far up the back wall in the dead of winter. At my age makes the building more versatile if cattle feeding becomes less of an option. See a lot of the old 12 foot high narrow opening sheds around that the now "retired" cattle man can't even put a wagon in for example.

Good call on the concrete pillars. I had them in the original design and wish I had gone that way considering potential for decay, but had intended to hang gates "everywhere" for handling. Now the plan is to devise a Bud box on an existing floor to the South of this set-up keeping clutter out of the shed where manure depth etc. would have made the original idea a nightmare.
