Beef building - green field site

[Horn&corn]

Do you need a feed passage plus scrape? Can you have a trough against the wall, or lose the outside wall?

3’ bunker. 15’ scrape. 30’ beds. Lots of animals! Always prefer gates chained that just touch rather than over lap.

One side wall is up against an existing stone building and the other side has an earth bank against it. We will also feed some groups on big bale silage dropped in with a loader tractor.

Shed will be 15ft bays, 45ft deep, 15ft gates to sub divide into pens.Concrete feed barrier probably with diagonal barrier on top. No manger as block fed with barley on top from auger bucket.
Question is, where and how to put water troughs?
At back, soil bedding
At front,fill with silage and hamper cleaning up.
On front of bedding but question of how to sub divide shed then?

La Buvette Polystall at the back. Very little splash from them and they stay clean even with a blower. I wouldn't have anything else now.

Interesting! They could possible fit at the front without loosing a feeding space.

We installed these JFC water bowls at the front of shed and they have worked fine. Cheap as well.
