5. Farm Design Plan A functional layout focuses on the Central Working Hub: The Hub: Place your handling facility (sweep tub, alley, and squeeze chute) in the center of the farm. All paddocks should ideally "fan out" from this center or connect via a central alleyway. This allows one or two people to move the entire herd into the chute easily. Water Distribution: Run a main water line through the central alley with quick-attach valves for each paddock. Storage: Locate the hay barn and equipment shed on high, well-drained ground near the main road for easy delivery and access during muddy months. Blueprints Mehr sehen
