Morning!
I thought I would share with y'all our new recycled loafing sheds. The cattle panels were originally purchased three years ago. We have tons of them lying around, and tons of hog panels.
The wire that was used to the there together was baling wire off of our bales of alfalfa. For outer support instead of cinder blocks, since we don't have any to spare, I used old tree timbers that we have tons of since we're clearing the property. The back supports are leftover 1x4s from the shed rebuild, aaaand the old telephone poles were sawn in half and used for a wall support.
Works wonders.
The girls seem to enjoy it.
We're installing one for the horses, the pigs already have one, and we will be putting two or three more in the goat pasture.
I still need to add hay feeders along the wall but they're already enjoying it.
Enjoy!
