Exciting news! There is a new barn coming to Willis Creek Ranch this summer! Jackson really needs a foaling/breeding barn and we finally realized it would make the most sense to build a new structure and make it into what we need. The guys have been talking to area companies, including, of course, Morton Buildings. We already have 2 Morton barns on the property and thought that might be the way to go. I have to say, however, that we were all soooo disappointed in Morton. The salesman was not very helpful - in fact, he never even got out of his car when he came to give them a bid. I am not sure what he was thinking, but he wasn't very interested in working with the guys to build a new barn. (his car was parked right in front of our existing Morton horse barn... so he had proof that we have indeed done this before). Anyway, it all worked out and we went with a local company. They will build the shell and then the fellas will work to finish out the inside as they need it. That will take some time, but I think it is going to be a good thing, overall.

The final decision was made on location of the new barn. The guys were getting a sense of the space and envisioning what will be needed.

I was driving in and stopped to take this photo... imagining the view when the new barn is there. I think it will look just fine!
