5,000$ would help me decide to make it a barn

One room for goats, one room for chooks. Probably 2 goats and more chickens than I care to admit.

Sweet! I think I'll install a hayloft and swing-out pan feeders.

build it bigger and keep the hay on 1 st story lofting hay sucks. When I build a barn I plan to pull in full hand stacked kicker rakes and unload them as I feed. 2 less times you have to touch a bale is worth a bigger building in my book. But I have worked construction the better part of my life and have full access to a sawmill. Just lack the rest of the $ and my back is shot and the boys backs are not strong enough yet....someday.
