Rene Prefontaine of St Pierre, provincial efficiency record holder, built one after studying in the northern States and believes it can save time. Aron Kroeker near Steinbach also built a loafing barn, claiming it cuts operating time in half. The system centers on cows going to feed in a three sided, draft-tight loafing barn with an adjoining milking parlor, and a raised stall for milking, plus an above ground silo and self-feeding hayracks for minimal attention.
