In summer 2017, I made a site visit to beef operation in the process of building a cow-calf confinement barn. I provided feedback on the facility design and management strategies for the barn. The farmer completed construction in fall 2017 that is nearing one year inside the barn currently. In two follow-up conversations, the farmer has expressed pleasure with the facility and commented that our discussion during the construction phase led to some design changes that were advantageous. Both changes influenced where concrete was poured. One led to a more flexible design and the second saved the farmer over 50 cubic yards of concrete.
