Slatted Sheds

roosterman71

Anyone got sample drawings or know where to look at shed layout? Looking for examples of cubicle houses, with calving areas and calf sheds nearby. Also, ya know sheds that have a middle passage how does that work when cattle can't mix? Does it mess up milking when housed, will cattle move between sheds after being milked or do ya do one shed at a time?

Why am I asking you ask? Well I'm messing about building a yard (sheds/parlour/storage/etc) in a program called Blender and hope to release my creation so people could use it in Farming Simulator! Basically, it's a hobby for the long winter nights but want the layout realistic ish 😁

Would hope to be able to house 500 cattle if all worked out

There are worse hobbies, you could be mapping features on your neighbors property to some sort of open street map for the crack, I believe ESB poles are where it's at 😂

The buildings section on Agriland can be good for ideas as it shows real life examples.

Hard Knocks

Could always leave back bay with slats for a cross between both sides

Even if you don’t want a cross over it could allow back bay as 1 pen
