High Cost of Farm Buildings Hamps Low Producing Livestock
Chicago December 2. Experts warn the high cost of dairy barn buildings makes raising low producing livestock uneconomical. J L Strahan of Louden Machinery cites overhead dairy barn costs at about 25 percent of milk and butter production for under 4,000 pounds annually, while high producers profit with costs around 15 percent. He urges weed out low producers and house good cows in efficient buildings. He also notes a lack of data on environmental needs for poultry hogs sheep and cattle.
