My barn is 50 x 100. It is split lengthwise into 2- 25'widths. One side is concrete (money-wise at building) and the other side is dirt. The dirt side is a penning and cutting area, and the other side has feed bunks down the outer side, which also act as confinement. They're fed into the bunks from outside. There is a 16' gated opening at each end of the concrete feeding area. The penning area is normally closed off to the herd, and the concrete can be cleaned using a loader to push manure into a storage pit. There is also a chute running from the pens on the dirt side to a door that we use for loading trailers when moving livestock along the enclosed wall opposite the feed bunk side. It's been right handy for moving and working critters for some time now. It has also allowed me to move cows at any time of the year, which has been a big help. Before i built this barn, I fed in mud, and was limited to moving cows in dry weather or during the winter when it was frozen. Wish I'd built it 15 years earlier.....

Today's Featured Article - Using Your Tractor: Creating a Seed Bed - by Chris Pratt. When I bought my first old tractor, I had only one idea in mind. It wasn't the preservation of old iron since at that time, I was unaware that people even did this. It wasn't to show off my restoration skills (though I had tried my hand at a couple of old motorcycles in my teens and if I recall correctly, those old motorcycles were sold in boxes about one quarter finished). It wasn't to relive memories of Grampa, Dad or myself out on the back 40 nursing the Farmall pulling too many b
