Advantages of a livestock shelter with no interior poles.

All stemming from the lack of interior support poles in the structural design.

Different livestock animals can benefit from a weatherproof, steel-framed shelter with 100% usable interior space:

Horses: Horses are particularly vulnerable to the harsh effects of sun, rain, wind, and cold temperatures when left exposed outdoors. Prolonged exposure can lead to a host of issues, from sunburn and heat stress to respiratory problems and hypothermia. Without proper shelter, horses are at risk of developing painful skin conditions like rain rot and scratches from standing in wet, muddy conditions. The cold and damp can also aggravate joint issues and arthritis, compromising a horse’s mobility and comfort. In extreme weather, horses may even suffer from frostbite on their ears, muzzle, and lower legs. Beyond the physical impacts, a lack of shelter can also cause significant stress and anxiety in horses. Horses are herd animals that instinctively seek protection, and being constantly exposed to the elements can lead to behavioral problems and reduced overall well-being.

Lambs: Young lambs are particularly vulnerable to the detrimental effects of sun exposure, precipitation, and extreme temperatures. Prolonged exposure can result in sunburn, hypothermia, and respiratory issues. A weatherproof livestock shelter protects lambs from these environmental stressors, creating a safe, secure environment for nursing and growth. The 100% usable interior space enables the creation of individual pens for ewes and their lambs or a communal area, depending on the producer’s needs.

Goats: Goats are susceptible to a variety of skin conditions and joint issues when exposed to harsh weather conditions for extended periods. The hot sun, driving rain, and biting cold can all take a toll, leading to problems like skin irritation, mud fever, and arthritis. A weatherproof shelter with a waterproof fabric roof provides goats with a dry, comfortable space to rest and seek refuge from the elements. The open, pole-free design allows for flexible pen configurations to accommodate the unique needs of a goat herd.

Alpacas: While alpacas are known for their thick, woolly coats, this can actually make them more susceptible to heat stress and skin problems when exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods. Additionally, the cold and damp can exacerbate joint pain and other health concerns. A weatherproof, steel-framed shelter with a waterproof fabric roof offers alpacas a dry, temperature-regulated space to rest and recover from inclement weather, supporting their overall health and well-being.

Cows: Cattle are hardy animals, but they are not immune to the detrimental effects of extreme weather conditions. Prolonged exposure to sun, rain, wind, and cold can lead to a host of health and productivity issues for beef and dairy cattle. Without adequate shelter, cattle are at risk of developing sunburns, heat stress, and respiratory problems from standing in muddy, wet conditions. The cold and damp can also exacerbate joint pain and arthritis, making it difficult for cattle to move around comfortably and access feed and water.

In severe weather, cattle may even suffer from frostbite on their extremities, leading to infection and other complications. This not only compromises the animals’ welfare but can also impact their growth, milk production, and overall productivity. Beyond the physical impacts, a lack of shelter can cause significant stress and anxiety in cattle. Cattle are herd animals that instinctively seek protection, and being constantly exposed to the elements can lead to behavioral problems and reduced overall well-being.

Protect the health, comfort, and overall well-being of their animals.
