[Jacob-list] Barns

[Linda]

Is that the yellow book?  It's packed right now, but I think that's the same book I have.  Great book if it's the same. 
 Plans for barns, hay feeders, sorting pens, shearing stands, can't remember all of it right off, but it doesn't leave 
much out.  I ran across it as SAFF a couple a years ago and would sure recommend it to anyone with sheep.
