We don't have many photos of the old barn - below are a few from the mid 1960's with the barn in the background and one inside with Carter and his first set of twin calves.

Dad's old Barn
The old barn on the homestead was built by our great-great-grandfather Stephen Jeffery likely in the 1870s or 1880s. It is built of the "post and beam" style.

In the spring of 1987 Dad and Mom built-on a new milking barn with gambrel style roof. The Milkhouse was built in 1977 and ready for our conversion to bulk milk shipping.
In April 19, 2009 I took interior photos of the loft to document the post and beam detailings, etc.
On the weekend Saturday of May 19 and 26, 2012 we re-shingled the front of the barn and painted it in the fall of that year. We painted the new shingles on September 8, 2012.
