[QUOTE="Forever Fendt, post: 3737194, member: 1163"] Not my building i am talking of ones built for a customer 8/10 years ago the calf house has individual pens to one side and group pens on the opposite side of a central passage way, pens 15ft x12ish all with gates that fold back and posts on sockets that can be removed and the whole shed cleaned out and power washed , 11 bays long with a bay in the middle for mixing and storing powder ect so in effect 2 separate sheds but joined together, in my opinion i would have more slope on the floor for drainage i agree with what you say regarding stress and moving them and changing things around i just think they have two much of a change from calf house to fatting pen as maybe 20 calves start of in a pen the same size and designs as one for 20 finished animals.The key i think to good calf house designs is the 22 deg roof pitch 6ft walls with cladding and a free vent about a foot along the top of cladding and a vented ridge as stated by [USER=22512]@RWG Contracts[/USER], i do like the idea of the mini overhang on the roof as this does stop the howling wind and any driving rain [/QUOTE]
