A livestock building requires a ventilation system calculated for your livestock type, stocking density, bedding approach, and manure management method. Common configurations include ridge ventilation, sidewall openings, curtain walls, and fan systems. The goal is continuous air movement that eliminates stagnant condensation without creating cold drafts that stress animals.

Kick planking is a solid wood lower-wall protection system installed along the bottom portion of interior walls in barns and livestock structures. It acts as an intentional impact zone — protecting the building system from kicks, scrapes, rubbing, and moisture contact. It extends interior life significantly in high-traffic areas.

Proper sizing depends on the type and number of animals, your feeding and bedding methods, manure handling equipment, and expansion plans. We design around how your animals, personnel, feed, and machinery will move safely through the space — not just the square footage needed to house the current herd.

Yes. Feed rooms, bedding storage, wash bays, tack rooms, veterinary treatment areas, and utility rooms can all be integrated. Designing these support zones into the original layout keeps daily operations efficient and the biosecure perimeter intact.
