14x24 calf shelter. Gotta build some gates today to make a few pens and feeders. No way I’m paying $700+ for four cheap green gates from Fleet Farm. That’s crazy.

Even had them put some vent doors in the back. I’m really happy with the build quality on this thing. It wasn’t cheap vs building it myself but it sure was a whole lot quicker lol

That’s a good looking calf barn!

 

[They call me Mr. Kibbs]

One of my neighbors built a horse barn with metal siding all the way to the ground. I had mentioned to him that if the horses realized that they could get attention by kicking the walls, they would end up kicking the metal off. Of course he didn't listen. The walls now look like a well used demolition derby car.

Sounds like reason 712 not to have horses
