yes I'm hip with the kids man
got the old post hole borer out and started putting in the holes for the drop posts bloody ground was hard but got there slowly will put a 3"base of concrete in for them to sit on using the topcon laser level saved no end of time so they should be flush when the 6" of concrete floor is laid

You fitting it out with cubicles then or whats the plan?
no cubicles I'm trying to make it one person operation so i will have a feed passage which i can scrape and a couple of pens for calves or new mums probably not making much sense but i have a plan

That makes sense, we have a shed similar, just saw the clad on the end and post layout and thought cubicles but I was way off!
You probably have a reason but why round posts, I am intrigued.

need to use the shed in summer or if the cows go so it will convert back to a open space ,even the diagonal feed barriers are hinged, in a few minutes well not including mucking out

Ok so they are sleeved but you can get square sleeved or have you a reason not to use them, the posts will spin in the sleeve on the round ones, or have you a plan or secret that you aren't sharing!
arr i want them to turn a bit as the gates are not quite the right size iyswim but on the hole the post will hang and receive so shouldn't be an issue unless you open both which i won't need to do

Weld some lugs to those sleeves will help hold them in better than the plates on the bottom

Fair enough, you got your plan and reasons!
When I done one with a mate we made the gates to fit, they are seriously heavy though!

Last couple of sheds we had done the builders cored out the holes for posts after the floor had been laid.

I guess that ladder is just being "stored" against the steelwork in that last picture as I'm sure you'd never go up a ladder that was resting on a rung!
Looks like you're having fun with the big boys Mechano - I really must start thinking about my next building, but I can't make my mind up on what form & size it will be & whether to do a timber structure or steel framed.
