Jesus Reggie that's one tidy shed for calves,did you leave that amount of space out there for a reason or easier to feed them?

Reggie. · 18-12-2015 07:15PM

Drinker on outside to prevent flooding of bedded area

Reggie. · 18-12-2015 07:17PM

Centre bars are adjustable for troughs or teat feeders

I left it that way so I can stack small square bales of straw on the outside on the left. Will have all my milk mixing gear/calf pellets on the right. Rest is room for a trough on the outside

Nope. I do feed hay off a feeder or the straw will be sitting on a pallet

Fantastic

Time and time again I am bowled over with the talent some people on this thread have. I don't even think it's guntering when the standard hits a certain level, it's talent and craftsmanship!

That little baler is possibly the best thing I've ever seen. I'd love to know if you'll follow up with a wrapper next year.

Sorry Reggie a smashing shed and all, but to my mind Galway civil defence win the guntering award this winter hands down.

http://connachttribune.ie/on-camera-civil-defence-rescue-cattle-from-flooded-farm-223/

l thought the makeshift rafts and bouyancy aids were ingenious.

p.s. mods... flooding is still a big and real issue for alot of us farmers here in galway.
