@@SummitEPC I used to feed out my calves and when the weather was bad, MUD up to you knees and the like, it was a very difficult chore to get the cattle fed. And these barns would be a very good option where land is expensive and has lack of good feedlot topography along with positive, accurate manure management. It looks like the benefits are numerous. But it still takes a very good manager to keep the books in the black!!
You look at the streets of NYC or the subway in Tokyo from street level...it always looks packed. But if that picture is taken from the top... there's lots of room.
Hi, Elon! It depends on what type of facility you're going to be building. We recommend 40-45 square feet/head for a bedpack facility and 20-24 for a pit facility.
Hi Myles! There's a reason why it's not an even 500. Our facilities are built based off of how much square feet each cow needs. For example, if you were to build a bedpack barn you would need between 40-45 square feet per head. A deep pit barn requires 20-24 square feet per head. If you have any more questions feel free to give us a call at 800.213.0567.
@@SummitEPC Is the specific number, 499, have anything to do with animal units allowed under certain county or state permits regarding containment regulations for the capacity of manure and how manure is stored?
@@switzerblitzer2701 Each county is going to have its own set of regulations for manure management and containment. It's important to double-check with them before you move forward with anything.
Great barn ,very well planned.
Looks like if you're going to consistently feed cattle year in and year out, confinement is a very good option. Nice video!!
Thank you, Gerard!

@@SummitEPC how much days fatten up a cow
@@OrangeJuiceCaleb That depends on how many cows you have per pen and what your feed ratio is.
I think that is the first time I ever heard a farmer say ooooh when they put their hands in something yucky. LOL🤣😂
you look happy.
wife's beauty.
Wow! you got them cows packed in there tight.

That was 200 billion years ago.
I was wondering about by the cattle being cooped up like there are ...R there sickness, and overall stail,, in fresh
Hi, Tabarick! That's a good question. The cattle are still fresh and most buildings have sick pens in case there are problems with sickness.
Thoose kids are some lucky kids
Yes, they are!

How many sq ft lot for 499 heads you use?

@@SummitEPC Thank you so much for fast response, looking for the same facilities monoslope for 500 heads?
@@elonmua8795 The same would apply for 500. We calculate all of our facilities with those square footages.
499 it couldn’t even be 500 wow

if you personally have 499 cows i’m sure you could squeeze one more cow if you’d really like to myles...

They look to crowded. Feel for them.
Hi, Nancy! It does appear that they are too crowded, but each pen is designed based off of how much square footage every steer needs.
she looks so unconfartebel..:)
