awesome young calves & barn # if roof has an angle of 6 to 10 degrees the rain water will drain out # good wood shaving beds # wheat 🌾 straw is also good ❤️🇵🇰
Hun this is alot like what we built 20 odd years ago. One of the things we did which is brilliant is a wind down plastic blind that goes across the whole front which is awesome when the wind is going straight in or its raining. We only wind it down level with the top of the gate. Being plastic is still lets the light in. Bought it off Redpath if I remember correctly.
An absolutely awesome calf shed Aleisha and Jayden. Very well thought out. The "Once a day farmer ' has a similar new set up for his calves. And Anne and I worked on a large dairy unit at Karaka many years ago, and Anne reared the calves and that farm had a special calf rearing block with an open shed like yours but smaller, 4 pens and a mixing room then we had a central race with 4 small paddocks coming off each side, so you'd let one mob of calves come to shed at a time to feed in the race, then chase them back. But you guys have really thought about what you needed, love the wide gates and smaller gates at back, so easy to get tractor and loader in, to clean out the chip at end of rearing. You have built an awesome asset and it can be used to put machinery etc in when not being used for calves. Love how you've used recycled material too, where you could. The wood chip was always our favourite bedding for the calves, it always looked and kept cleaner.
Thankyou so much ❤ yes thats a great idea about the paddocks with a race. I think eventually it would be cool to have one paddock per pen. And yes 15 cube of mulch we will have is going to be awesome for the gardens 😊
I am currently editing that video. Sooo cute. They were hooning around for about half an hour. 😂 we clean all bedding out and disinfect so usually don't have an issue.although the calves usually always bring it back home from the sale yards
