I couldn't laugh at that but it was funny. :)

I know one day I'll look back on that and laugh. When I do, I'll be sure to let you know so we can laugh together. :D =D
As for now, I had to keep in the forefront of my mind that their intention was good..... And I have to get a spring loaded gate lol

It's still early! Plenty of time for round two. Consider it practice. :)

Good way to look at it!

Went to two of the feed stores around here and both are sold out of chicks. Guess everyone is buying the toilet paper for the new chicks they bought? Also haven't been able to find any bees for sale and around here there are normally a couple people selling.

Definition of battering RAM

1: a military siege engine consisting of a large wooden beam with a head of iron used in ancient times to beat down the walls of a besieged place
2: a heavy metal bar with handles used (as by firefighters) to batter down doors and walls

This bar is a 3/4" solid piece of steel. It was used in conjunction with a true 3"x 5" slab of wood which was inserted into 1/4" think steel door fasteners located on each side of the stall door.

I came out to let my sheep out yesterday to find the wood on the ground, the metal fasteners bent and this bar bent. This is of course for my male sheep.
..... I'm going to electrify that entire stall.... And put a flame thrower at the door along with a moat.

Maybe I should post a picture of the hay string loop that held the wire gate closed of the pen he used to be in. :yesss: In another few weeks he and two ewes will go to a pasture with a real gate. But I don't have a night pen in that pasture, so we are going to put up a small pallet fence pen and attach it to the Hawg Hut. Maybe I can come up with another really cool gate for that and hold it closed with a...…..rubber band maybe?
