The Pole Barn is one of the better investments I made when I came to Bedlam Farm. Animals like donkeys don’t ever really like to be indoors – it isn’t natural for them, as long as they can get out of the cold and heavy rain. In ice storms we sometimes put them in the barn, but the Pole Barn has shelter on three sides, and I put batting in to keep the wind from blowing through. So in bad weather, the donkeys wait it out. We had a nasty storm today and I came to check on them, and it was nice to see this barn so effective.

Bedlam Farm is well put together now for animals, and it will be another challenge to get the New Bedlam Farm going as well.
