Consider a boiler meant for floor heating a shop. We have a boiler in our shop that heats water that circulates in our shop. Could then install appropriate sized heat exchangers in each waterer. Could help you design this over the winter Dave. I am an engineering student/ beef rancher in Missouri.

Great question! The stalls get cleaned out more than once per week.

With today’s market and the cost of the facility I’m having trouble penciling out how cattle can pay for it I know over a long period of time it would but I can’t see how cattle can make the payment of the barn any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

Hi again! We will never guarantee that you will make money in the cattle business. However, we do know that the data clearly shows raising cattle in one of our facilities is more efficient than raising cattle outdoors. If you would like to discuss your project further please give us a call at 800.213.0567.

Can you please share the balance feed formula with percentage?
@SummitEPC5 жыл бұрын
Hi Waji! This specific producer wanted to keep the feed information private so we are unable to share that with you.

Got em packed a little tight
@SummitEPC5 жыл бұрын
Hi Gary! It may seem like they are tight but they do have plenty of room. We usually like to allow up to 45 square feet per cow in a bed pack barn and 24 square feet for a pit barn.
