Protect Cattle in the Winter with a Cattle Barn
Go to Cattle Sheds Gallery
When winter comes to Iowa and Illinois, dairy farmers are concerned about their cattle and the weather. To make sure cows are comfortable all winter long is important. They need to be dry and out of the wind to keep them comfortable. It can be outright dangerous for cows to be wet and in a cold wind. That is why it is important to have a cattle barn where they can stay dry, have plenty of room to lay down, walk around, and drink fresh water. For young calves, it is especially important.
Winter is tough on everyone, including cattle. When unseasonably cold weather strikes early, cattle may not have developed their winter coat, which can become a danger to the cattle. This another reason to invest in a cattle barn; it can save you money in the long run.
Greiner Buildings can build a custom designed cattle barn to keep your cattle safe and warm through the cold, snowy winter months in Iowa and Illinois. Some of the cattle barns that we have constructed in the past are:
- Cattle shed on concrete wall foundations
- Cattle sheds w/mono-sloping roos and open sidewalls
- Insulated roof for protecting metal
- Sliding doors or hinged vent doors for access and ventilation
- Natural lighting panels
- Curtain systems for ventilation
- G-90 steel for added protection against rusting
- Cupolas for increased cosmetic appeal
- Concrete piers at open fronts
