    Here is my 5 pen cattle loading yard with 3 ramps.

    This end just has the single pen attached, but the other 2 ramps have a double pen.

    On the left side we keep a bull, and on the right side the cows are taking care of their calves.

    We had a bit of trouble today, and Andy slipped in a pie while bring in the alfalfa. After he is finished feeding the cows, he can scoop the pens!

    Looks great Robert! How many kits did it take to build your bash?

    I drew this up as a single kit by combining 3 kits worth of parts, and putting them on a single base.
    The 3rd pic guy on the ramp is zatting a cow with a hotshot [​IMG] to get him to move.

    As for poor Andy, he was told to clean the pens before bringing in the alfalfa, but he knew better... if he brought in the alfalfa bales, and set them on top of the biggest cow pies, there would be that much less that he had to scoop up in the end! He had it all worked out! [​IMG]

    Looks as if Robert is going mainstream. The February 2008 Walthers catalog has a number of Z laser kits that sure look just exactly like Robert's.
