Sleepy Barn

It's really winter, the farm feels like it's sleeping. I feel like I haven't even really gotten to know the farm yet because I haven't lived with daily chores here. I'm both happy to have this time to plan and kind of miss having animals. 

I poked around the barn today just to start thinking about how I want things set up. My lambs and pigs will both get quarantined in the barn for two weeks. This is for biosecurity reasons so they're not pooping out on pasture right away in case they're sick. I'm pretty sure they used to milk cows in this barn.

This is the Pine Barn. I'm standing at my back door and can't get quite far enough away to get the whole barn nicely in the frame.

Ben built a pen for when the piggles arrive - thanks Ben!

The barn has bunch of these funky stalls with hay feeders in the corner like this.

Look at the door on the right that slides up and down the tracks - I think the counter weight is sitting in the doorway on the left. I'm so curious about who lived in that stall that warranted a door like that.
