Angle iron Collar ties in, cable cross bracing in, metal on 3 sides, trim on 3 sides. Taking a break for a minute.

I have to apologize to @mouthpiece, I stated in an earlier post that the trusses didn't look right to me, etc. And I'm sorry if that caused you any trepadation. A couple of weeks ago I saw an ad for some chicken barn stuff, and sure enough, the trusses were just like yours. Carry on, looking good.
No worries! I'd rather hear a concern and check it than it go unsaid and it fall in. Thanks

View attachment 468547View attachment 468548View attachment 468549View attachment 468550View attachment 468551View attachment 468552So i didn't think much about crossbracing until now.
I need some ideas.
I have some cable and thinking about doing X across the trusses(each side) on the last 2 bays leaving out the middle sections

Pics for reference, oh and this is how @Cowcatcher (thanks for the help!) and I spent last couple weekends
I used the tractor I bought from @undeg01 to lift the trusses and for a ladder to bolt the tops together.
And the invertor from @Perplexed for various power needs
Cable was what I was thinking before I even saw the pics.
