Star Dairy Barn Plan No. 11

This barn is planned to accommodate 16 cows, facing in, a cow pen and a calf pen. The mixing room is located right next to the silo and grain bins. With a STAR Overhead Carrier system, the cattle can be fed conveniently and quickly.

The foundations and floors are of concrete. The ceiling is 8 ft. 6 in. high. The barn above foundation is a plank frame, trussed roof barn of the same construction as the building shown on page 148. The mow is especially high, and will take care of a bumper crop.

Its capacity is 88 tons.

 

This is a roomy and convenient barn, well ventilated, with wide feed and grain alleys and with cross alleys well located. The combination of horizontal siding below hay mow floor, and the vertical siding above, broken by a well designed belt course, gives this barn both a pleasing and substantial appearance.
