Around The Barn Puzzle

Place the 9 octagon shaped pieces in the frame such that all touching edges have a matching symbol.  This is a unique design by Dave Janelle, copyright Creative Crafthouse.

Symbols are scenes around the barn and include Barn, Cat, Cow, Horse, Dog, Chicken, Hay, Tractor, Goat.  Symbols are deeply precision cut into the wood.  Wood is 1/4" thick alder, very strong and durable. Note, I can custom make these with cherry or maple pcs.
Frame are made from Floorboard and shades used may vary.  Puzzle measures 6" square in the frame.
This is a difficult puzzle as there are 8 symbols on each piece.  Typical edge matching puzzles will have only 4 or 6 symbols on a pc.  A solution is provided.  I believe there are 2 possible solutions, though my friends may do a computer analysis to confirm.  It will come packaged unsolved, though a written solution is provided.
