Getting ready to start a 62’x120’ tarp building, 16’ inside scrape/feed alley. 6 foot concrete wall, 5 chimneys and turkey curtain panels on the ends for ventilation, $40/ft Canadian(includes all concrete work) or about $26US. We’re fairly close to Lake Huron and have lots of humidity and sometimes lots of snow. Really like the tarp barn environment, bright and lots of air space. Just replaced tarp and doubled up the posts on 25 year old 40x100 tarp building, $14k for tarp, posts and all installation or about $10k US. Have done 2 stick buildings in the last 5 years as well but takes a few more dollars to achieve the same environment but like them too.


How many calves would you be putting in that 62 by 120? 500 to 1600 pounds?
