Plan 4152
Open-end Pole Sheep Barn, Mechanical Feeding
This plan gives details for an Eastern Canadian sheep barn for total confinement of 170 ewes and their lambs. The barn is 10.2 x 36 m (34 x 120 ft), and the length can be changed in units of 2.4 m (8 ft) if necessary. A feed manger 870 mm (32 in.) wide at the center of the building span provides feeding space for 170 ewes at one time (about 400 mm (16 in.) per ewe). For operators who use a lot of bedding and clean out manure only once or twice a year, the feed bunk can be adjusted to suit the depth of the manure pack.
