Re: [Blackbelly] Barn siding/building material
This works for horses, so I'm guessing it would work for rams. In the horse world, if you have a horse that likes to kick his stall and destroy it, you mount plexiglass to the inside of the stall and it basically saves your barn.

Re: [Blackbelly] Barn siding/building material
My barns are the prefab metal over plywood. They hold up fine to the mashing. They do however, mar it so I put up plywood panels on the lower half. They have a little give as they are attached to the frame and stick out from the wall itself a quarter inch. I find this very satisfactory. My one barn that is corrugated on the outside is going to get smashed so I put goat panels along the outside to keep them off the metal itself.

Re: [Blackbelly] Barn siding/building material
Rick, Our sheep barn is 2 years old. The heavy corrugated steel siding is screwed to the inside of a 2 steel pipe frame. We have one big ram and he has not damaged it much. Maybe if we had more rams like him we'd experience more damage like you have...

Re: [Blackbelly] Barn siding/building material
I have not done it yet, but when I do overhaul my shelters, I plane on adding butt boards to the interior of the shelters and the outside corners. The butt boards will be 2x6 pressure treated lumber attached in such a way as to be able to replace them easily as they wear out. If you look at the majority of damage, it seams to be about 18 or so high, so I will be putting the boards about that high. I currently have 2x4 no climb fencing on T-posts between my ewes and polled rams, it's holding but has seen better days, so my next pens will either have walkways between pens, or I will use 2x4 no climb on 5-6 wood posts with 2x6 butt boards on both sides. My rams like to rub so I figure give them something to rub on. Steve ninemilesheep.com On 8/26/2014 6:36 AM, mtnrdgr...@aol.com wrote: My barns are the prefab metal over plywood.
