There is an old, abandoned catch pen in the cow pasture where we take our walks. It was used when this area was part of the J-Six Ranch. I love all the weathered wood and how massive this old structure is. Nowadays, they all seem to be made out of steel pipe, probably lasts longer but not nearly as picturesque! :)
Linking up with Nancy at A Rural Journal and Lisa at Two Bears Farm for Rural Thursday. Hop on over and see all the rural happenings around the country!

Neat piece of history there! Although I'd hate to try to catch something in there now!
i love all that old wood!
It is very picturesque!
Lisa,
The cows would just laugh at it!! LOL!!
Tanya,
Me too!
Teresa,
Yes it is!
yeah, don't get to see many wooden ones anymore here either...
No memories in steel like there is in wood.
Thanks for sharing it with us. :-)
Kristina,
Thanks!
TWG,
It is a shame.
LindaG,
I agree and you are welcome! :)
The old wooden structures have a certain charm to them, that's for sure! Even more so when they are falling down :) Love the photos.
We see these all over the place -- in the same condition this one is in. They served their purpose back in the day. :
I'm sure the metal ones are much easier to upkeep, but those old wooden ones have much more character. I'd hate to see what a bunch of rambunctious animals would do in this one now!
Very cool fencing... i'd much rather see wood than the steel piping =)
Very good photos.
Regards and best wishes
I bet those ol' corrals could tell us some awesome stories from days gone by!
Looks like you've been busy. love all the pics too!
Wonderful photos. I wish those fences could talk!

nancypo,
Hmmm...hadn't thought of that, now you have given me ideas! LOL!!
Jaime,
You are welcome! :)
Yes, this abandoned place is truely picturesque.
Pradeepa,
Thank you!
There's something both romantic and forlorn about abandoned places like this. You can almost feel the "spirit" of the place.
Thank you for sharing!
