Cow Barn

The barn in which we keep the cows was constructed in 1979. Here’s a couple shots of the barn while it was being built:

Now, here is how it looks present-day. It is a tie stall barn that holds approximately 100 cows at capacity.

A lot of basketball was played on this hoop over the years. Better to shut the door when playing, however.

This section of the barn is the milkroom and office. The milk is kept in large stainless steel, chilled bulk tanks while waiting for the truck to come pick it up. The small steel openings on either side of the doors are where the milk truck runs a hose through and connects it to the bulk tank to pump the milk out into the truck.
