• I’ve seen this reference a couple of places for cowshed design. It is still used even though it is from 1987 so maybe it is a classic: Beef Housing and Equipment Handbook
• Hugo Häring: the organic versus the geometric has some old cowshed designs that might be interesting from a architecture geek perspective.
• Wes’s suggestion for a first welder for Jean: A Lincoln PowerMIG 180c.
• A possible stove for the Mess. I can cook my roadkill stew on it.
• An Australian Blonde d’Aquitaine site.
• An architected cowshed in Switzerland. Boy is this pretty and about as far away from my cowshed as you can get.
• Some advice from Waikato, NZ on cowshed design. This is about milking sheds but there’s still a lot to learn from it.
