Well lads how are things?
I know you have all probably seen or heard this one before but Iast summer I purchased a shed locally to me and plan to erect it this summer as a Sheep shed 60x60 nothing too big as I already have an existing shed too it’s not a clear span it has standing pillars right through the middle but my aim is to make it as efficient as possible and cut back on labour and mainly time where I can as I have am off farm job, hopefully with a feeding passage one on side and pens on the other I plan to make the barriers myself and consider slats also.. I’d really appreciate pro’s cons’s experiences and pictures of simple ideas for feeding or pen set up even water supply ect be greatful for any info as where I am is next to impossible to see a well set up facility.. appreciate any inputs or help guys

regards
