barn planning sites?

[uarelovedbygod]

I am in the first stages of planning a barn for goats, sheep, 3 cows and a pony, as well as feed/hay storage and a small butchering area. Any suggestions for helpful websites? Or maybe useful books? Thanks!

I like that book. It will teach you how to build it yourself, or give you the knowledge to contract it out. But it likely might not have the plan for a perfect barn for you. Just google barn plans, there's lots of Co-Op Extensions out there that have free plans... use the knowledge in that book to make it happen.

I have a book called Barn Plans and Outbuildings (new & revised edition) copyright 1881 that your more than willing to borrow for as long as you need.
It covers everything from barn plans to ice houses and everything in between. Has simple drawings and pictures with dimentions and gives a lot of
detail about why to build a certain buildings in a certain ways for the sake of the animals. PM me if interested.

Fantastic link!!
Thanks!
My 16 yr old just finished his catapult that he was building in wood shop and was in need of a new project to get his daily participation grade...

I found the perfect self-feeder plans there!
