Cattle Ranchers Develop Confinement Barns To Boost Yields
The Foths of Livermore Iowa expand cattle operations amid rising herd sizes. They built a $100,000 confinement barn in 1976 to control environment and feed, housing about 500 cattle and improving daily gains. Manure is stored and spread on fields, boosting crop yields. The family raises 2000 to 2500 head annually, with sales spread over weeks to hit multiple markets.
