We Built a Feedlot Barn! Full Build from Steel to Roof

Today’s video takes you start to finish through the full build of our new feedlot barn — from the first post being set, to rafters, to sheeting the roof, to feed bunks going in, and everything in between. We poured the slab in an earlier video, but this one captures the entire structure being built by the WP Welding crew. You’ll see: • posts going in • rafters welded and lifted • roof sheeting • feed bunks delivered and placed • layout decisions • cattle flow planning • plenty of ranch-style commentary from the whole crew This barn is the backbone of our freezer-beef operation, and watching it come together has been one of the most exciting projects we’ve taken on at Bar 7. Thanks for following along as we keep building out this ranch we love. 👉 Drop a comment and tell us your favorite moment from the build! 📍 CHAPTERS 00:00 – Barn build kicks off 00:29 – Camera talk + morning chaos 01:46 – Why Cody’s leaving town mid-build 03:05 – Ranch marriage banter 04:56 – Drone flight: mapping the barn 05:40 – Cutting and welding rafters 06:33 – Standing the first posts 07:50 – Why posts aren’t pre-cut to height 09:55 – Leveling, marking, and layout 10:55 – Welders at work 12:34 – First rafters go up 13:47 – Feed bunks delivered 15:48 – How the pens will flow 17:35 – Gate spacing and walk-through layout 20:15 – Roof sheeting begins 23:00 – Trying out the new DJI 360 camera 24:30 – Seeing the feed bunks in place 27:00 – Neck-rail planning & final layout 29:15 – How we’ll set the remaining bunks 30:49 – Cody’s final walkthrough 31:45 – Crew on the roof 32:07 – Wrap-up & next steps for the feedlot Subscribe to Bar 7 Ranch: https://bit.ly/3Xjjcv1 📩 Business Inquiries: [email protected] ✨ Watch Our Latest Videos Here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlQd6-LRXC0QiSJMboeixoD_YeQkn6R3U&playnext=1&index=2 🙏 Faith & Family Sermons & Devotionals: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJFxo_GG5mToxi1A6SBvbXw 🌾 Follow Bar 7 Ranch Daily Life: Facebook → https://facebook.com/bar7ranch Instagram → https://instagram.com/bar7ranch/ TikTok → https://tiktok.com/@bar7ranch X (Twitter) → https://twitter.com/bar7ranch Website → https://bar7ranch.com/ 🛒 Shop & Support the Ranch: 🔹 Amazon Favorites: https://www.amazon.com/shop/codyanderikaarchie 🔹 Official Bar 7 Ranch Merch: https://www.bar7ranch.com/category/all-products 🔹 Personalized Cameo Shoutouts: https://v.cameo.com/H6Ej9WIV5Ab 📺 Watch More Bar 7 Ranch: 🚜 Ranching & Farming: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlQd6-LRXC0RXocN3qCT99xUAli70mp0L 🔧 How-To & Fix-It Projects: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlQd6-LRXC0QTmJXfgFnKWuX3-p5Wexkw 📹 Family Vlogs & Adventures: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlQd6-LRXC0QJkKrP0Orm0kZeoPduNdFz 🔥 Most Popular Videos: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlQd6-LRXC0TjSjSjyBX5tjx4_18adL4y&playnext=1&index=2 🤠 About Bar 7 Ranch: Welcome to Bar 7 Ranch — where ranch life, family, and entrepreneurship collide.
