The 37,000sqft building is enclosed by a curtain system that allows for controlled ventilation. Attached to the main building is an additional 4,800sqft of roof that covers a manure pit.  Completely galvanized steel building designed to house young heifers. The roof is a 26ga steel with a dripstop barrier that is adhered to the back of the sheeting.
