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 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.
Livestock operations benefit from structures that provide natural light, airflow, and protection from extreme weather.
BENEFITS
Calhoun’s fabric buildings provide natural light and ventilation, proven to reduce airborne health problems and keep livestock calm and productive. The shape of Calhoun’s fabric buildings offer consistent airflow for livestock.
The thermally non-conductive properties of Calhoun’s fabric covers ensure a warmer interior during colder months and a cooler interior during warmer months. This, combined with less need for artificial lighting, reduces or eliminates energy costs for cattle barns.
The absence of interior columns or posts means you can configure your hoop barn any way you like to accommodate your herd. From feeding facility, to breezeway, to a growing and finishing barn, improving the comfort of your herd helps maximize their productivity. Furthermore, you can incorporate a number of extra features including eaves, curtains, fans, water troughs, and feed bunks.
With our high-quality fabrics, engineering and durable designs, you can be confident that you’ll get long-lasting performance from our structures. We use best practices for design with reliable, high-grade steel frames to provide increased stability. One of the keys to the quality of our products includes HDPE fabric and PVC fabrics that come in both fire-resistant and non-fire-resistant varieties to match your requirements.
Ensuring the safety and well-being of your livestock is a critical part of your daily operations. When you invest in our agricultural buildings and structures, they keep fresh air circulating throughout the day. Our designs provide trusted protection from the weather outside while providing excellent ventilation to ensure safety and health for your livestock whenever they’re indoors.
We engineer our structures based on your requirements. If you want options to maximize the space, we can design an agricultural building with extra-high, cathedral-style ceilings to provide extra room for storage and livestock. To customize our structures to your unique needs, we build to your preferred dimensions and ensure you get a finished product that works best with your operations.
