Nice job, by all three of you.

That is exactly the kind of job I want to be able to use my steers for. We have made several buildings, sheds, and run-outs movable, with the hope of using the oxen to move them around the farm to help prevent any un-necessary manure build up. I like seeing the possibilities.

runners need to be at least 6 inches 8 would be better, this building was on 4 inch runners and it was not east to move for the width

I agree I have one runout for sheep on 4 inch runners and I wish I had wider runners for it. I was trying to save weight but I think in the end it is harder to pull.
