Calving Barns & Calf Sheds For Low-Stress Calving & Calf Rearing
Calf sheds and calving sheds play an important role in improving cow comfort and calf performance.
Calf sheds and calving sheds create a low-stress environment to keep cows calm and comfortable and improve calf performance.
Increase Cow Comfort with An Action Calving Shed
Calving sheds are a proven way to improve cow comfort and performance.
Finding the ideal balance of airflow and weather protection is important for keeping cows cool, sheltered and stress-free. This also helps to reduce ammonia build up.
This is often best achieved with a two-sided configuration with design features such as ridge vent, gable infills and a canopy.
You can learn more here – Is This The Best-Practice Calving Shed Design?
It is also important to ensure your calving shed design addresses industry requirements such as square metre/cow.

Give New Calves The Best Possible Start With An Action Calf Shed
A custom calf shed allows each batch of calves to thrive.
Best practice calf shed designs typically use a three-sided open front configuration with sliding doors that can be opened or shut for airflow or weather protection, as well as providing easy machinery access.
This is also a good configuration for general storage such as bedding, hay and machinery, however, it is important to separate your calf-rearing areas and storage.
Here are some more tips for maintaining hygiene and cleanliness in a calf shed – How To Keep Your Calf Shed Clean
Choosing the correct flooring for your calf shed is also essential, and you can find some suggestions here – What Is The Best Calf Shed Bedding Material?
Corrosion Protection With Concrete Panels & Hot Dip Galvanized Steel
Calving sheds and calf sheds are highly corrosive environments which is why concrete panels are a must-have inclusion on your shed project.
This is because concrete panels protect the shed cladding from both rust and machinery damage, increasing the longevity of the wall sheeting.
Concrete panels in a calf shed also help to create a versatile asset. For example, the shed could be repurposed to store almond hulls or grain.
Additionally, for the ultimate corrosion protection, every Action shed is fully hot-dip galvanized – both the UB columns and the open web trusses. You can learn more about hot dip galvanizing here.
Address The Details With Our Building Consultants
We recommend details such as site selection and drainage, square metre/cow, shed orientation and airflow are addressed early in the project planning stage.
