It looks nice Jason! Calves look healthy and clean! The only question I have is about rain and snow: Do you guys get much? I will probably go with a curtain sided building to keep the rain and snow out. I might build a "half" building with the open half to the east. Then I could add the other half when we need to expand again.

It looks like you bed with straw. I also use straw, but was thinking about just bedding the back half of each pen. I have a manure lagoon that I could scrape the feed alley into each day, but I don't want to get any straw into it. I don't see any place to scrape yours into, so I assume that you clean the whole thing out at once. How often do you clean it out?

Thanks for the pictures!
