High Quality. Built to Last
Pole barns are the premier choice for livestock shelters. They have great ventilation and plenty of space. These features prevent injuries and reduce stress among cattle. Your livestock will be happy, and so will you—your structure can be built with accessibility and ease of maintenance in mind. We can install gutter systems, feed storage, and anything else that makes your job easier.
High-Quality Cattle Barns with Seamless In-House Service
Our team builds durable cattle barns with unmatched personal service and quality. We manage every step of the building process in-house, ensuring efficiency, reliability, and cost savings.
Pole barn cattle barns offer an affordable, flexible, and durable solution for livestock housing. The open-span design allows for efficient feeding and cleaning, while post-frame construction reduces material costs and speeds up the build process. You also get the ability to customize ventilation, insulation, and layout based on herd size and management style.
Yes. We offer insulation and lining options that help regulate interior temperatures, reduce condensation, and protect both animals and equipment during extreme Midwest winters. Proper insulation also improves overall herd comfort and health.
Popular features for pole barn cattle barns include adjustable ventilation systems, feed alleys, headlocks, insulated roofs, curtain walls, and easy-clean flooring. We work with you to design a layout that supports efficient daily operations and long-term animal health.
The ideal size depends on your herd size and management system. For example, a barn for 50 beef cattle will look different than one designed for a cow-calf operation or dairy herd. We’ll help you determine the right square footage, stall arrangement, and flow to support your operation.
Throughout the decision process, Jeff stayed in contact with us but was never pushy. He always stressed ‘what can I do to help you through the process!’ Simply put, Jeff sold this project. Thanks for a great addition on our property!
