Wide-Span interiors for your herd
Maintaining the health and well-being of your livestock is key to a farmer’s success. Calhoun’s clearspan cattle hoop barns give you the ideal environment to raise your livestock, shielding them from harsh weather and protecting them from outside predators.
Studies have shown that an increase in the amount of light a dairy cow is exposed to will increase their milk production almost immediately. Our dairy farm building solutions help increase light exposure to your livestock. The shape and flexibility of our fabric livestock hoop buildings provide optimal indoor temperatures for your herd, providing lower utility costs while keeping your herd healthy. Whether producing beef, dairy, or farming hogs, sheep, or goats, Calhoun’s bright and airy hoop barns create healthy, calm, and well-ventilated clearspan interiors for your herd.
Livestock operations benefit from structures that provide natural light, airflow, and protection from extreme weather.
Naturally-Lit Environments
The environment your livestock are raised in plays an important role in the overall productivity of your operation. Calhoun livestock hoop buildings are designed to create bright, naturally lit environments with excellent airflow and customizable ventilation options that help maintain comfortable conditions throughout the year.
Clear-span interiors provide the flexibility to optimize pen layouts, feeding alleys, bedding areas, and equipment access while allowing room for future expansion. With fewer obstructions and more usable space, producers can improve workflow efficiency while creating an environment that supports animal comfort and day-to-day management.
Whether housing cattle, dairy cows, sheep, or goats, every Calhoun structure is custom-engineered to meet the specific needs of your operation and the environmental demands of your location.
Why Calhoun
Continuous airflow helps manage heat, humidity, and airborne contaminants, improving overall animal health.
Bright interiors support animal behavior, feeding patterns, and productivity.
Shelter from extreme heat, cold, wind, and precipitation reduces stress and improves performance.
Natural daylight reduces daytime lighting requirements, creating a brighter building while helping lower energy costs.
The height and free span interior of our fabric buildings have no interior columns, allowing for easy access to your herd and more room for the livestock to roam freely.
Durable fabric covers and galvanized steel framing are designed for long-term performance with minimal upkeep.
With many configurations to choose from, we custom-engineer your hoop buillding any way you like to accommodate feeding alleys, pens, calving areas, bedding packs, ventilation systems, equipment access, and future expansion plans.
Flexible building designs make it easy to adapt your facility to changing herd sizes and operational needs.
Tell us about your project goals, building requirements, site location, and intended use. Whether you need a goat barn, feeding alley, or calving pen, our team will help identify the right building solution for your operation and budget.
Once we understand your needs, we review key project details including building dimensions, access requirements, fabric options, doors, ventilation, insulation, and site conditions. We also evaluate local wind, snow, and environmental loads to ensure the structure is designed specifically for your location.
After project approval, our engineering team performs a comprehensive site-specific review using advanced 3D Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Once engineering is complete, the steel framework is fabricated, hot-dip galvanized, and prepared for shipment alongside the fabric building system.
Calhoun offers installation services through experienced crews or can support your preferred contractor. Following installation, our team remains available for inspections, maintenance, repairs, fabric recovering, and relocation services to help maximize the lifespan of your investment.
