All Purpose Barn Plan No. 21

60 ft. wide, 76 ft. long and 37 ft. from grade to ridge.

This barn is especially designed for the keeping of the dual purpose herd. A barn of this size and shape will take care of the average farmer’s needs.

Almost a car load of beef cattle are sheltered along one side, partitioned off from the horse barn.

Horse barn accommodates two team stalls, two single stalls, and two box stalls.

Ten dairy cows, a calf pen and a cow pen are housed in the opposite side.

Hay is stored in the center of the barn, and over the stock, two grain bins, and a silo complete the plan. Hay mow capacity is 150 tons.

 

The entire barn is floored with concrete, except the hay barn. The foundation wall is of the same material and extends 2 ft. above grade. The barn is a plank frame structure, and is well braced and trussed. The outside walls are covered with vertical drop siding.

This barn is convenient, practical and economical for the farmer. Everything is centralized here to save labor and make winter feeding easy and profitable.

Silage.can be easily distributed down the feed alley, hay and other roughage stored in the mow, can be handily fed into the manger, or hay racks, located along the side of the mow.
