You can't really tell from these pictures but the dairy farmer across the street is building a gargantuan barn. It will house 300+ head of cattle. I'm getting a little intimidated by the shear size of this thing. I really hope they keep on top of the manure situation because I can only imagine how much poo will accumulate in this monolith. We were relieved at first that it wasn't a manure lagoon but how different will this be? I wonder if they will leave it silver or neutral like most of their other structures or if they'll paint it red? If they do paint it red I have already decided to call it, "Clifford, The Big Red Barn". Why can't it be Joel Salatin who lives across the street? Then I wouldn't have a worry in the world.
On a happier note... while traversing the yard to take these photos I found my barred rocks digging in the shredded leaf mulch on the fence line. They were having a dandy time.
