Skidbarns are small portable barns so named because they can be tied to trucks and moved – “skidded” – across a pasture. When we moved to the farm, we thought this would be shelter for our sheep, but we realized it wasn’t big enough or secure enough from the wind so we built a good-sized pole barn.

When the sheep are in the side pasture, they like to gather in the skidbarn, and I love coming across them there, sheep can bunch up and get  comfortable in many small spaces. Izzy, our newcomer, was checking it out.
