Star Dairy Barn Plan No. 7

36 ft. wide, 98 ft. long and 39 ft. from grade to ridge.

There are two large silos attached to a shelter shed, 36 ft. wide and 21 ft. long. The grain bins are located above and grain is spouted to ground floor.

This is a distinctive building that will add tone to any farm. It is not a novelty, but a barn combining all the good features of a rectangular barn, and the beauty, strength and economy of a round roof.

 

It has stall accommodations for 30 cows. The pen barn is separated from the milking barn by a tight partition, and contains two calf pens, two cow pens, a maternity pen, and a bull pen. The stock face out and a wide, center driveways will permit the driving through with a manure spreader, if desired.

The foundation wall and first floor are of concrete. The foundation wall extends 2 ft. above grade. The ground floor heightis 8 ft. 6 in. All framing lumber is of 2 in. material. Drop siding is used on the outside of walls. The beautiful Gothic roof, entirely free from sup-porting timbers, makes a hay mow where hay can be handled with a minimum amount of labor.

Hay mow capacity is 139 tons.
