That windbreak should work quite nicely. Keep us updated on the Alfalfa planting. I've seen it done that way into old pasture to thicken things up.

Keep putting seeds out there. When it's their time they'll come up. If you're on that place 60 years from now as an old man you'll still have Alfalfa popping up

@@e.a.bfarms eventually I'd like to get the steer lot concrete but first I'd like to get the shop built. I'll let the steers run it down a bit so the dirt will be easier to move.

Loose soil, it will work.... Those old Van Brunts get the job done... Thanks Jordan.

The windbreak will be great and when everything is setup as well. Hoping 5 years from now everything is setup and should make it easier on the herd.

Nice wind break, put in enough lower structure inside the wind break to keep the steers from pushing the tin off. The old Van Brunt drill is doing it's thing!

I'm considering putting cattle panels on the inside to help reinforce it but lumber might be just as good. Van brunt earned it's keep.

Why, seems like a good way to rip up the existing stand
