This is a detailed plan set showing a free-stall dairy barn 12 x 40.8 m (40 x 136 ft) to house a milking herd of about 70 cows; an optional wing can be added to either double the herd to 140 cows (12 x 34.8 m (40 x 116 ft)), or to house dry cows and bred heifers normally required to maintain a 70-cow milking herd. The slotted floor manure system eliminates the daily chores of manure cleaning and keeps both the stalls and cows remarkably clean. Both wings can be fitted into a compact 12 m (40 ft) clear-span barn, since with slotted floors there is no need to provide extra space for a tractor and scraper to move among the cattle.
