Dad built a new one in 51 had the "pit" in the center of the crib for the sheller drag. Long crib on one side and two short one on the other space between the two short ones for the hammer mill belt powered blew ground feed up over head to self emptying bins one had spouts going down to the enclsed side fedding floor to fill th feeders other bin unloaded back in driveway for loadout to fill feeders in the field in the summer time and we had hogs out on pasture several places.

Loved the hand feeding as you always had one or more that always needed special scratching around the ears ect as they ate. Those days are gon but the memories will never be. Crib cost 11,000 and Dad said the last bunch of fat cattle had paid for it. Crib is now gone and 30x40 shed for hay storage now covers the area.
