Where are you located? I thought you were in North Carolina. I cannot remember why I thought that but that looks much colder. Please describe what you are building. Thanks.
I now see that you posted that you are building an alley. If you want to add some detail, ok. Sorry. I thought it was an alley. Is this a kill facility?

I now see that you posted that you are building an alley. If you want to add some detail, ok. Sorry. I thought it was an alley. Is this a kill facility? Thanks for asking. So. Dakota. No kill facility. Just a cow/calf and yearling operation. Also converting our small grains farming to grass and forage, so in the process of eliminating one and expanding the other. Suckers for punishment. At a remote coral location, no electricity, a Hyqual tub and homemade alleyway is being replaced with the double entry lane and a homemade Bud Box. It's certainly not a beautiful state of the art set of corals, but hope to improve the flow and workability. The alleyway is sort of like this manufacturer makes, in the middle of the page. www.gobobpipe.com/cattle-working-equipment-system.htm#Adjustable-Cattle-Alley And trying to go with this basic idea. www.agweb.com/article/the-bud-box-and-double-alley-design-for-cattle-pens-NAA-university-news-release |

I like the Dakotas. I was assigned to North Dakota for a couple years working out of Casper Wyoming. Back in the day, I would fly a small airlines - Big Sky Airlines, alias Big Scare Airlines - into Bismarck. Interesting country. I am sure you have heard all the colloquial jokes. Lol. I like the Black Hills, Rapid City. |

The chili is epic!!! One of the oil guys from Coffeyville Resources throws his lunch on the box-thingy/whatever the hell it's called when he's pumping out the tanks to heat it up.
You guys have done an amazing job!
Alfalfa not their first choice? My girls go nuts over alfalfa!

You guys have done an amazing job! Alfalfa not their first choice? My girls go nuts over alfalfa! Thank you so much! Had to deal with alfalfa getting rained on when it was basically cured, quite often last summer. A lot of it is varying degrees of brown. What was put up a bit before it was cured is more palatable than what was rained on after being cured. Heavy, flat (oblong), and a chewing tobacco quality to it, but nevertheless...... |

We had some alfalfa bales that were so old we put them out as bedding last year. They ate it. And one year it was put up before it was fully dry and it caramelized. Oh my gosh, they went nuts over it! Kind of like how a burnt marshmallow is always better. Tore up the alfalfa a couple years ago & planted Bermuda, which never took off so tore that up last year & will go back to alfalfa. |

Great pics. Great work. Thanks for the glimpse of S. Dakota. From someone used to the rugged West Coast mountain terrain that flat land see for miles country is amazing.

It's always amazing when they prefer something that looks like the humane society should be called, for feeding it to them. lol |
