Right side of barn showing mini slew with pecker to break up concrete
- Left side of barn. Cubicles down left are intact
Our main wooden cow barn at Stour Cross Farm, which is nearly 30 years old, is now being revamped. The cubicle’s have been dismantled and the base that the cows lie on has gone.
Middle section of barn
The reason for this facelift is that Martin had bought a tractor that won’t fit down the aisle’s of the cubicles so major adjustments were needed. Four lines of cubicles had to be dismantled and moved over by a couple of feet. Concrete and chalk were pecked out and the wooden dividers kept to one side.
Once all lines have been removed the work will begin to make the bases again.
