Open Shed with Lot - Swine Gestation Unit

Open shed with lot. This plan is for a 16’ x 40’ pole-frame open shed with an outdoor lot. The unit houses about 60 sows. An optional layout shows how the unit can be expanded to provide for breeding and to house boars. This plan is for the producer who wants to get more of his operation off pasture and out of the mud, but who does not want the high investment of an enclosed building. This unit is suitable for farrowing up to about 8 times per year in a 20-sow farrowing house.
