Agriculture and engineering have traditionally been male-dominated industries, but that is slowly beginning to change. Across the sector, more women are building careers on farms, running rural businesses and working in the industries that support agriculture. At S&A Fabrications, we believe that’s something worth encouraging.

At S&A Fabrications, we’ve been building Roundhouses for years—mainly for livestock, feed storage, or agricultural machinery. But every now and then, a project comes along that takes us in a completely new direction. That’s exactly what happened when the team from Kynren approached us with an unusual brief: to create custom Roundhouses to house birds of prey for their upcoming live outdoor show.
