Jourdain. Pretty quiet in operation but the welds on the adjustment arms are too weak and cannot take sustained pressure unless we had a bad batch
Put them in the heifer shed and they work well there

10 space agritubel yokes per 20ft bay been excellent with no brakes in 5 years.
Think we might have had a batch fabricated by the apprentice
Is 24 inch wide enough to get 650kg Holsteins in each space?
Light, airy and portable
Neat looking job, but im guessing that shipping container is 8 feet wide so not enough lunging space, can you cut out the other side down to the bottom and make some sort of canopy out of the cut out material ?
My cows can comfartably lunge in 8ft some need a lot less
Depends some you get 10 with heifers or 9

Having tried both options I`m convinced cubicles work far better with no front wall

Personally I wouldn’t open the end doors. The end needs to be closed right down so you have the air travelling up through the ridge. Opening things on the end you just end up with a big mix of air doing nothing imo
Uploaded some pictures here from today

Yep and following on from this make sure you put in upstand open ridge I forget the proper name but @Fergieman had good pics of it in the link he posted earlier. No doubt you've already got that covered though.

Rypke de Boer is good with layout and building design aswell as can kit the shed out if required, he helped design mine and I bought waterbeds, cubicles, slats, water tanks, scrapers and lights from him!
