Open-front Heifer Barn
The open-front heifer barn has proven to be an excellent cold housing system for raising dairy heifers from 2 months of age to calving. The barn is designed with a single-slope roof and located on the farm so that the open side faces south. With a building depth of only 20 ft and a south opening height of 13 ft, the sun will penetrate to the back of the pens during the winter, but shade the housing area during the summer when the sun is high in the sky.
