Simple but Perfect – Cow Barn

Shelter and storage are essential, and our cow barn stands as a testament to that necessity. It’s simple yet perfect for our needs, and I’m thrilled with the outcome—thanks to the incredible work by Faithful Structures.

Our journey with Faithful Structures began when we stumbled upon their buildings by the highway. Despite not being on-site, their immediate phone response and subsequent meeting left a lasting impression. Kaylee guided us expertly through the process, aligning our vision for a barn spacious enough for our Highland Cattle and their essentials.

Surpassing expectations, Faithful Structures completed the barn ahead of schedule. The installation was seamless, with the installers providing an insightful tour and detailed explanation of the structure.

Post-installation, we tailored the interior, creating two stalls and a walk-through for storage. Aligning the stall divider with the pasture fence required considerable effort, especially digging 7 – 18’’ post holes. However, assembling the vinyl fence was relatively manageable, resembling ‘linking logs,’ as the seller aptly described. Despite being first-time vinyl fence installers, we’re delighted with the results.

Enduring harsh winds and freezing temperatures, the barn provided a marked contrast—warm and dry—compared to the outside conditions, proving its worth as a valuable asset to both our property and cows.

Upcoming plans include installing gates for managing our cow Milkshake during calving and displaying our custom ‘YB’ iron sign—an exciting addition to the barn’s exterior.

Smiling through the tired and painful process of post hole digging!

Almost a finished product! Just need to hang our YB brand and hang the gates!
