Well, I didn't like the plan Hubbard was able to generate, even though it was what I asked for. So I talked to Lewis Ramsey at Milk Safety and some of his comments were exactly what I needed to come up with the above layout. Set up to ship or receive or process, or all of the above. Now to get it drawn up into a plan I can submit to Frankfort, with all the details like lighting placement, floor drain locations, etc and so forth. The devil's in the details... It may be self serving but I really have to say the guys in Milk Safety have been so far very easy to work with. Yes, they have a job and they will get it done ie meeting all the regs but they want people to dairy, even non conventional stuff like a farmstead cheeseplant.
Got my 'custom' feed wagon from Ag Wood. That's a local farm store, agricultural supplies of all sorts including flatbed wagons. Usually used for hauling tobacco from the field in to the barn, also for hay. I had an old running gear with a gravity bin on it, had them take the bin off and put a wire panel bed on the running gear (which is the part with wheels, axles, and a pole to connect the two axles). The idea is to stack hay on the wagon and have the sheep eat through the wire panels. Works on the ground except they eat everything they can reach and then have to wait for me to shove the panels in. I am hoping the weight of the hay will cause the bales to settle down as the sheep eat. Already see a better design, although it'll only hold half the hay: instead of a flat surface they can eat through, mount gates at a 90 degree angle so the sheep can eat from a slanted surface; would let me drop the hay a foot lower, make it possible for the sheep to eat far more easily.
Now to get the self feeder welded, and call the concrete guy for a bid... Rams go in three weeks from now, I am worried as they still aren't in good enough shape despite deworming with the only dewormer the Drench Rite said might still be effective. Also moved them to better pasture. Can a ram be considered facilities? They are a tangible asset to me, just like the wagon or the feeder. I am so short on time and sleep and reward lately I am afraid I am losing my heart for this.
