Finally gonna build a new shop

[bison]

Pastures here are broom,Timothee,fescue,quack and prob another 50 varieties of native and tame grasses,Alfalfa and clovers are common too.
Not that thick in close up right now,Grasshoppers are taking more than their share at the moment.

Matching roofs, (or rooves?) aren't we just prim and proper now...

Where are all the little brown horned creatures?

Looks better that way..don't it,increases the value too.

you mean these creatures

Wow thats a bunch of buffs! Cutting horse trainers here use buffs to train the horses cause cattle sour after a couple of weeks and just stand there. Like with everything tho there is a trade off, u have to use very young buffs and they dont ever quit trying to run away but u gotta get rid of them before they get too old or too big cause once old enough they quit running away from the horse and start chasing the horse and it aint just one either, they all come for u!!!! LOL Fine line there plus the bigger ones can plain destroy a livestock trailer. Which subtype u got, plains or woods?

 

[bison]

plains

Yep, there they be.

Hiding in the 'back 40', eh?

Hey NVW thanks for the link, thats really cool!!!! We kill orphan foals and the weakest twin too. Orphan foal syndrome, they never respect a humans "space". They r aggravating, needy and very dangerous to be around. Imagine a 1200 lb horse jumping into ur lap when frightened and u will get the picture plus they dont know they r a horse and do no get along with other horses at all and stay kicked and bit up. U gotta go thru it to understand it. Most people understand it about the time they colt gets up to 600 lbs and a year old, something about them rearing up and beating the snot out of u with their front hooves.

Bison ur herd is a real credit to ur herdsmanship!

[orrum]

[bison]

Why is that window so high up?

For the same purpose as windows lower down.lol.
Its on the southside,i planned a work bench under it,i hate sunglare in my eyes.
I got enough of that running the tractor.

 

[NVW]

Why is that window so high up?

Maybe Simon heeded my advice, fewer shadows that way.

Actually i did.
South and west facing windows are 8' up.
North and east are 5' up.
There be windows in the doors as well.

 

[ak diesel driver]

I would think the glare would be welcome after the old shop. LOL

 

[3500GMC]

The high window if for the pet giraffe to look in/out of.

Simon's got it all fuggered out.

 

[Acesneights1]

[btfarm]

so no one can break in.

Do you really think that's an issue where Simon lives?

 

[bison]

It is still pretty civil in these parts, but big oil is moving in and brings more scum along.

 

[bison]

The outside is finnished.
Hole on both cable ends is for a fan,one for the wash bay,other one for welding fume exhaust.

Next is getting a new slab poored and a gravel bed in front
