Here’s the inside of my FBI pole barn looking out. Every glint of daylight is where a nail is or was.
Once you lose the small rubber seal around the fasteners moisture will migrate down the fastener into the wood and rot, would not believe how rotten those 2x4‘s are some are.

Roofs are like tries, they wear out. No such thing a a maintenance free roof. Think your metal roof is? I’ve got a drawer full of roof screws that beg to differ
Roof lasting and being water tight are two different things. How many 30-50 year old pole barns are out there with the roof on but leak or have problems
Here is my 70’s FBI pole barn nailed down, stupid idea aluminum roof that they would have replaced cause they knew it was bad if I was the...

One thing is certain, there were 8 guys on that bridge just doing their job’s, probably had zero chance of getting off once they realized something was going terribly wrong.
It’s a miracle 2 lived but I’m sure they will be traumatized by this the rest of their lives.
Prayers.
God be with...
I’m what you would call an expert (air quotes) in band castrating, cause I can count to two.
I also like to put in an ear tag so I know where I’ve been
When do I start
Freezer/ local beef has exploded since covid. We have doubled our output since and it’s still not enough, my building is full.
Takes 2 years to propagate a heifer into a cow and then another 1 1/2 till you get beef From that cow so it is a very long process to replenish our beef supply
