FABRIC BUILDINGS FOR LIVESTOCK PRODUCTION AND RANCHING
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 agricultural structures provide optimal indoor temperatures for your livestock, 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.
