When we were at the Hershey Picnic the day before, our niece Karen told me they were installing rafters on the feed lot the next day if I wanted to get pictures.
Cerwin and I went to the farm about 9 am to see what was happening.
By that time, many of the rafters had already been installed.
The Rigidply driver waved at us. I expect he knew us from the Transport For Christ Truck Rally. We couldn’t recognize him from a distance and with a hat. We didn’t stay until he was finished, so didn’t find out who it was.
We weren’t the only ones who were interested in what was happening.
Another rafter going in place.
This young woman’s mother was also watching and waiting for them to finish because she brought a snack. She said they were down a man for the operation and asked her to put the chain on each rafter before it was raised.
We didn’t stay until they were finished. The next job will be installing the roof.
I’m curious – what’s a feed lot?

It is where they feed the cattle. There are troughs in the feed lot where grain or silage in placed to supplement the cattle’s food supply. They also eat grass in the nearby meadow.
