Wow.....thats the best barn Ive seen...your detailing is fantastic as well as some outstanding photography! Thanx for posting!
That is awesome!! Are the barn and stockyards scratch-built?
Very nice barn. 
And I like the moooo'd lighting. 
Great looking barn and very realistic looking.
Is it based on a prototype?
Incredible job!
Great Barn love the roof lines and addition of the weather vane! What is the footprint of the barn and pens together. Happy Railroading!!!!-Don Klose
Where did you get the animals?
Very Nice!

That is very nice....great job.
I can't believe someone from New Jersey built such a great livestock loading, sorting, and holding facility. You must have some farmer in you. Thanks for sharing the great work.

Wow Richard!
This is very nice work. Thanks for sharing.
Add me to the "wow" list! Fabulous work. Looks like something that Frank Ellison might have done.
Do you plan to put it on a layout, or is it a stand-alone model?
Thanks to all for the positive comments. The original Barn was done in HO scale by another modeler and based on an abandoned Barn in upstate NY.
My O scale version was made from some posted photos that I had. The entire
project was scratch built and the base is 41" x 26" with the Barn being
approx. 14" x 7". All the animals were purchased on ebay already painted
since I'm not too good at that. The livestock pens were from Banta's kit and
modified for this diorama. Everything seemed to come together and I'm happy
with the results.....at some point it will go on a layout which I don't have at
the present time. That is why I left the track off in front of the barn.Not too
sure at this point what type of track I will use in the future......
Extremely well done and colored authentically too. It's layout location is an important decision, so chose wisely.

Just beautiful Rich,
The coloring is very well done.
A beautiful work. Thank you very much for posting. 
Absolutely Amaaaaaaazing!!!!!
Oh my, I just revisited my childhood days looking at that. I'm looking at my little Ameritown kit, then looking up at your pictures and thinking it will take me a 100 years to obtain craftsmanship like that.
Awesome, simply awesome!

That is pretty good! Great effort!
I worked horses in another lifetime and I can just about see it with your farm model.
