Cow Shed!

Geoff and l are in the process of building a sheep/cow shelter up in what is now the top paddock. It's the only paddock without a single tree and only gets shade when the sun is high enough to throw shadow from the trees from the property next door. Having only wee tiny cows means we can make very good cheap shelters out of  recycled pallets from work! We made one originally for the goats and then discovered that the cows loved it so we have made several more now in other paddocks. This is the last area that needs one to protect them for Summer and Winter!

With goat supervision of course!

Whipper Snipper needed first to get rid of all the bracken and blackberries!!

The Farm Dogs enjoyed themselves as usual..................

So half hour later we have a wonderful messy higgledy piggledy mish mash of colours

Two separate section in case the cows get possessive and won't share with the sheep!

That will do at first! Next we need more bracing, cross bearers, then the roof ...then pine palings around the sides to hide all the pallets and give full protection from the wind and rain.

Geoff being the ultimate scrounger and scavenger already has the tin for the roof from an old shed that blew down at work. But that's a job for next weekend!

A long way from home but they will eventually be as snug as bugs in rugs!!!
