Mini farms for cattle (cattle) are created for the production of meat and dairy products. Keeping cattle is a profitable and profitable business that requires a certain approach and a set of knowledge.

Grazing for a cow is more convenient than keeping in a stall

The creation of a cattle farm begins with the creation of a business plan that provides for the main stages of implementing the idea:

• Select a site with the necessary communications or with the possibility of their implementation.
• Determine the number of livestock.
• Choose the type of mini-farm direction and the type of animal keeping.
• Decide on the technical premises, equipment.

Farm project for 10 cows

When building a mini farm for 50 heads, a frame or frameless method is used. In the first version, the barn is built taking into account the wishes of the farmer from bricks, cinder blocks, concrete slabs. The frameless method is the construction of a hangar from metal structures. This is a more economical option, but the lack of windows in the hangar deprives the barn of natural ventilation.

The cowsheds provide for ventilation, water supply, lighting, sewerage.

When building or buying a barn, they proceed from the planned number of animals and the norms for their maintenance. When keeping cows, it is important to take into account for each of them from six square meters of area, and for a cow with a calf - from ten square meters.

Area per cow

Keeping cows in stalls has its advantages: the animal has a place where it is fed, watered and milked. With the free movement of cows on the farm, they allocate places for rest, feeding and milking, separate separate pens for calves and bulls. Behind the stalls, a meter-wide passage is arranged for a chute with manure and slurry. The gutter is taken out of the barn through a specially provided window. The floor is made with a slope for the drainage of liquids; an adobe floor with boards rammed into it is practical. In addition to the barn, the farmer will need a room for feed, a place to store manure, a place for walking / grazing animals.

Winter walk at the farm

In cowsheds, it is necessary to maintain a certain microclimate. The table shows the requirements necessary for the comfortable keeping of young animals and cows older than one year.

Equipment

Keeping cows in a mini farm is impossible without the necessary equipment: you will need feeders, drinkers, a milk pipeline (to a large farm), milking machines and systems. Farms for cows must be equipped with feeders. by the most simple view The feeder is a wooden chute, which is made in one piece or with folding sides for easy cleaning. For a large herd of cattle, group feeders are used.

A few cows can be milked by hand, but portable bucket milkers or herringbone systems are used to milk large numbers of cows.

For hardware milking, it is necessary to provide a stall for milking

Scales for cattle are used to check the weight gain of animals, cows are weighed before sale. Scales represent a platform with a protection for fixing of an animal.

If it is not possible to buy scales in small private farms, the weight of cows is determined by measuring the oblique body length and chest girth. To calculate the weight, the Trukhanovsky formula is used. The result obtained is increased by 5% - 10% with a high fatness of the animal, and reduced by the same percentages with a fatness below the average level.

Drinkers for cattle

In free-range farms it is possible to install a group drinker or individual automatic drinkers for each cow. Group drinkers are divided into stationary and mobile. Stationary use in a barn, mobile on pastures.

If cows are kept in stalls, individual automatic drinkers or level-type drinkers are installed.

Metal drinker in the barn

In small mini farms, buckets are often used. Drinkers for cattle are bought in a store or made on their own, but drinkers industrial production more hygienic. Without harm to the health of cows, metal, cast iron or plastic drinkers are used. Drinking bowls with water heating are also produced. Experts recommend the use of individual automatic drinking bowls, their use helps to avoid mass infection.

Feeding the calves in the barn

paddock

To create a farm and walk animals, a land plot is bought or rented. The main thing is that it should be in a high place, without lowlands, the best option is former farmland, abandoned collective farm or state farm land, no further than a kilometer from the barn. According to experts, during the grazing season, the cost of medicines is reduced, including the need for fewer drugs for insemination.

A mini-farm for cows will help ensure a stable income. Initially, you can buy a small livestock. Gradually, the business will increase, the number of bulls and cows in the herd will increase. The proposed recommendations will help to organize and equip everything correctly.

A mini-farm for cows will help ensure a stable income

If you are planning to organize a farm, you need to carefully consider and calculate everything. An exemplary business plan for a dairy farm for 20 heads includes the main points of the organization of the process and financial issues.

The main points include:

• choosing a place for a future mini-farm;
• rent or buy land plot(if not available)
• purchase of inventory;
• purchase of the initial livestock - bulls and cows;
• organization of proper care for each individual;
• maintaining cleanliness;
• cleaning of waste products - manure.

Financial issues include items of expenditure and ways to earn income on the farm. The required investment determines the amount of initial capital required to start a business.

The main expenses are as follows:

• purchase of building materials;
• construction of a mini-farm;
• purchase and delivery of livestock;
• wages for hired personnel;
• fodder preparation;
• payment for veterinary services.

In fact, the productivity of these animals is extremely high.

A mini-farm for 10 cows will pay off very quickly. Such an enterprise can generate income in several directions. It could be:

• sale of milk and dairy products;
• sale of high-quality beef and/or meat by-products;
• sale of skins;
• sale of bulls and heifers, i.e., young animals;
• sale of manure as an organic fertilizer;
• paid provision of breeding individuals for mating (mating) to owners of other farms.

In addition, you can also organize the sale of hay and / or silage. Of course, subject to the availability of appropriate land plots.

The right choice of location

In order to build a farm for cows without any problems, you need to choose the right piece of land. It should be a level and well-trodden area. The presence of a small forest belt near the mini-farm will protect the animals from drafts and / or strong winds.

According to the legal norms of the relevant laws of the Russian Federation, natural reservoirs and / or sources of drinking water must be at least 30 m away from places where large livestock are kept, otherwise the owner may be fined a large amount. In this case, the mini-farm will have to be moved to another site.

An equally important point - the absence of residential and / or other buildings near the place where the mini-farm will be equipped, cattle - this is an inevitable unpleasant smell. Do not create discomfort for residents of nearby settlements. On its own plot, a mini-farm for cows is being set up closer to the place where fruit and vegetable crops are planted. This will make it easier to use the manure to fertilize the soil. From a residential building, a modern farm should be located at a distance of 15 meters or more. Additionally, the main wind direction in the region should also be taken into account.

To easily build a farm for cows, you need to choose the right piece of land

Saving money

For a novice farmer to maintain, for example, ten or twenty heads, it is better to rent land. It will be much cheaper than buying. You can pick up a site with ready-made buildings, which, after a small repair, will provide proper living conditions for cattle. A leased plot and/or a cowshed for 50 heads has such a significant advantage as the ability to terminate the contract without any problems. For example, if a more suitable option was found.

The farm project and the initial estimate should be drawn up, focusing on recycled material. Used bricks, wood, etc. can be purchased much cheaper. The main thing is to check the quality of the goods - the degree of wear, safety, etc.

Sawdust is used for bedding in the barn. You can cook them yourself. To do this, you can buy old wood - frames, boards, lumber that are not usable.

Preparing for construction

To ensure proper housing and / or care of cows, a farm plan will help, which must be prepared in advance. You can make it yourself or find a suitable mini-farm project from friends and acquaintances.

The work site must be marked. At the same time, a place is necessarily prepared for storing building materials and tools.

Independent construction of a farm for cattle requires significant labor and time. You can speed up the process by inviting assistants. Hiring a construction team will be very expensive.

Tools and materials

Before building a farm, you need to stock up on the necessary tools and materials. For work you will need:

• dry concrete mix or cement and sand;
• brick, wood or blocks;
• slate;
• ruberoid;
• insulation;
• fasteners;
• bars and/or beams.

The tool kit must include:

• shovels - shovel and bayonet;
• roulette construction;
• plumb and level;
• technical knife;
• puncher or electric drill;
• construction mixer or concrete mixer;
• solution containers;
• saw and / or hacksaw;
• mason's tool;
• wire cutters and/or pliers;
• hammers and sledgehammers;
• overalls;
• rag.

To store a supply of materials and working tools, you can equip a small barrack or a fenced area with a canopy.

Barn dimensions

The health of cattle directly depends on the conditions of the herd. To make the animals feel comfortable, it is necessary to plan the following dimensions of the barn:

• main area - 500 m² for 50 heads (at the rate of 6 m² per 1 adult or 10 m² for queens with offspring);
• additional area for storage of feed, inventory and equipment;
• wall height - from 2.5 to 3 m;
• height to the roof ridge - not less than 3.5 m.

Experienced livestock breeders do not advise building very large barns for a wide range of livestock. In small rooms for 10 or 20 animals, animals feel more comfortable. At the same time, the cows on the farm are healthy and give a good milk yield. In the event of infection of one or more individuals, the main livestock will be easier to protect from the disease. In addition, a barn for 20 heads is easier to keep clean and tidy in order to obtain high-quality milk and / or meat.

Independent construction of a farm for cattle requires significant labor and time

barn construction

The selected version of the mini-farm and barn project needs to be studied and, if necessary, slightly modified. This will help tailor the proposed projects to specific conditions.

A brick structure for cattle must be built on a massive foundation. Under frame, wooden or block walls, you can make a lightweight version. The roof is made 2-pitched with a high ridge. From above, a hayloft and a storage system for the necessary inventory, equipment, etc. are being equipped. Another option is a modern hangar-type barn with an arched roof. The profile for it is gradually increased to the required size.

The ceiling of the cattle room is usually made of thick board. For cold regions, double decking is required. Joints are sealed with clay. To keep warm, it is necessary to pour sand or sawdust. The layer thickness is at least 10 cm.

The floor in the barn is best made of concrete. It is bred and poured using conventional technology. The concrete floor is durable, comfortable for animals and staff. Maintaining cleanliness does not require significant effort and time.

Plank floors are cheaper. However, it is necessary to cover the connecting seams with clay. Mandatory slope for the floor in the barn - no more than 2 cm per 1 m. This is safe for cows and convenient for cleaning manure.

Inside the barn, it is necessary to equip stalls measuring 170 by 110 cm. For the manufacture of partitions, you can use the following materials:

• board;
• reinforcing bar;
• log;
• timber;
• metal pipe.

The floor is covered with dry chopped straw or sawdust. You can make wooden flooring. In the center of the room you need to leave a wide passage for the farm staff.

A canal or gutter is arranged at the back for the drainage of manure masses. Be sure to make a slope towards the tank for collecting liquid manure. The gutter is brought out through a special hole (opening) in the wall. It needs a latch.

Drinkers and feeders are easy to make with your own hands. They are placed in front of the stalls. The width of the bottom is 40 cm. From the bottom up, the feeder expands to 70 cm. The height of the outer side is 70 cm. The inner side facing the animal is not higher than 30 cm.

Conditions of detention and sanitary standards

The microclimate is very important for cattle. Therefore, in the barn of a farm for 50 heads, windows are needed for ventilation. They are located at a height of 120-150 cm above the floor. The ventilation system and heating device (if necessary) will help ensure the temperature and air circulation.

The area of ​​thermal neutrality, i.e., the optimal temperature regime, is provided in the barn, depending on the breed of animals. Usually required from +4 to +20 °C. For young bulls and heifers, warmth is especially important. Large rooms will require artificial lighting. Electrical wiring must be installed by a specialist during the construction period.

If you would like to do agriculture, namely the breeding of meat cattle, read my article, perhaps it will help you not to make the mistakes that I made at the beginning of my journey. I did not draw up any business plans, projects, did not draw diagrams, everything was built on its own in a free place as money appeared. To be honest, the work is very hard.

But, if you correctly build the process of fattening bulls, their maintenance, harvesting feed, you can manage the entire economy alone, and if you have a spouse, or able-bodied children, then even better. And do not listen to those who say that fattening bulls is not a profitable business, lazy people and couch experts say so. Of course, you won’t get super profits from such a livestock, but it’s quite possible to provide yourself with butter and sausage, fresh fruits in winter, and a good car.

There are three pillars on which a successful mini-farm should be built: start-up capital and a well-thought-out business plan, efficient and rational use of available land and maximum mechanization of all processes. When you come from afar, everything seems simple, but the closer you get, things that seemed simple before become overgrown with a bunch of nuances that need to be taken into account.

So, first things first. You need to start, as always, with drawing up a business plan based on your financial capabilities. This will help you understand whether you can manage the desired production volumes on your own, whether you will have to take out a loan or whether it is worth waiting another year and saving up some money. I still recommend starting small, at least in order to get the initial data for drawing up a business plan. In particular, to calculate how much feed is spent on one bull, what weight gain it gives, feed prices, and of course the final benefit from one head. To buy 50 bulls at once and feed for them, you need to be a millionaire. And you also need to build a cowshed, a hayloft, a grain warehouse, a summer paddock and other buildings, and this is not small money. The business plan and calculation of the profitability of a cattle farm is a separate article, read more here.

Now with regard to the direct selection of the site and the construction of buildings on it. It is best to organize a farm in the outskirts, not far from some kind of village, so that the neighbors sleep better and, in which case, there would be room to expand. However, there will also be difficulties with such a site, firstly, communications (gas, electricity, internet, water), and secondly, they can force them to issue a peasant farm, and these are taxes and excessive attention. You can organize a cattle farm on your own plot, 25 acres is enough for this. In many Russian villages, today you can buy a house with all communications, a large plot, developed rural infrastructure at a small distance from the city for quite sane money. Plots sometimes come across 50-90 acres, plus a residential building with gas heating, this option would be an ideal place for a home mini cattle farm.

After buying the land, you need to plan the site on paper, where which building will stand. You can also first draw a plan, and select a site according to it. On one bourgeois resource I found just such a diagram of a cattle farm:

In general, of course, everything is beautiful, a good, convenient, ergonomic plan, but you need to adapt it to the realities of farming in Russia. Here you can find abandoned Soviet farms, with silo pits and cowshed buildings still intact, but requiring full interior decoration. And the scale of those farms is also not for our livestock. Therefore, I propose to build a farm from scratch.

So, what can we fix in this regard:

• We will remove the silo pits, they are useless for a small farm. Harvesting and preparing silage is a high-tech process, it requires appropriate equipment and experience, and a lot of time will be lost there.
• As for the hayloft, it needs to be built high, and more likely it will be the largest building in terms of area on our farm. The hayloft should have a good roof, and the walls should be sheathed with at least corrugated board or slate. We have a widespread practice of storing hay in the open, as a result of which water and snow get on it. The top layer of hay rots and becomes unusable, which is not good. Also, pulling out hay in winter from under a layer of snow does not give much pleasure. Therefore, it would be foolish to argue about the need for a sennik on a cattle farm.
• A granary and a feed preparation shop with a crusher and a feed mixer solve several tasks at once: forage storage and feed preparation. You need to build to such a height that the body of the dump truck under the roof can rise, because you won’t want any farm to carry grain in bags and buckets in the quantities that we have to master.
• It is not necessary to build a calf at the beginning, because it is just an additional barn. Of course, if you plan to get your own livestock in the future, then yes. In any case, you need to build a calf house according to the principle of the main barn.
• The main cowshed - what to build it from, what sizes, how to equip it inside is also the topic of a full-fledged separate article, read in detail here. In general, today many construction companies offer ready-made solutions in the form of trusses from frame and tent hangars, but all of them do not inspire confidence, and besides, they are quite expensive. I advise you to build according to your project, so that it is warm and comfortable.

Well, the last part is the maximum mechanization of work on the farm. This will help set up the work so that one person can handle everything. Most main question on any livestock farm - manure removal. There are several ways to solve this problem: slatted floors and a self-propelled manure removal system, a manure removal system using conveyor belts, and the most straightforward - take more, throw further, rest while flying. In Soviet times, it was the conveyor belt with scrapers that was most often used in cowsheds, which automatically raked cow manure into a pit at the edge of the barn, from which another conveyor belt loaded the manure either into a tractor cart or into a barrel.

Another point, the availability of equipment on the farm, our livestock will not need much. Be sure to have a tractor on the farm, MTZ-80 or T-40 is enough. The tractor must be equipped with a front loader with a replaceable bucket and forks. You also need a cart that will be used to transport manure. In addition, you can purchase a mower and a baler for a tractor in order to harvest at least part of the hay yourself. It is also worth thinking about the presence of freight transport on the farm, ZIL or GAZ-53 is quite enough for a small farm.

Perhaps this is all that I would advise you to focus on when building a meat cattle farm. Since tethered, non-range keeping is planned, pasture rental and their improvement are not included here. However, having your own hayfields can significantly increase the profitability of fattening bulls.

An increasing number of people prefer to do their own business, and not “work for their uncle”, because in this case you can independently plan your schedule of activities and at the same time receive high level income. If you decide to go into farming, then with a competent approach to work, you can get an excellent financial results with minimal labor costs. It is possible to start activities in this direction only after the construction of the farm, and this task must be carried out by experienced craftsmen, which will ensure that the construction customer receives the desired positive result.

Construction features

If you decide to engage in farming activities, then the building where the main activity will be carried out must be completed in accordance with the standards and requirements that exist in this matter. This means that you can entrust the construction of a farm in Moscow and the Moscow Region to craftsmen construction company, which has been operating in this field for a long period of time. Here you can order the construction:

1. barn,
2. pigsty,
3. chicken coops
4. granaries.

Having a farm, you will be able to raise livestock, sell milk and meat, sell eggs, and so on, and such activities are effective all year round, so more and more people are trying to start doing this. Owning a farm will also allow you to feed your family, but if you are interested in larger financial transactions, then renting a livestock of cattle will allow you to start a successful life.

Stages of farm construction

In the company, the construction of a livestock farm is carried out in stages, which makes it possible to obtain a strong and durable structure, and the main stages include:

• drafting a project;
• carrying out settlement work;
• agreement;
• assembly and installation of the frame;
• laying communications and engineering systems
• launch.

After that, the building is put into operation with documentation, which allows the new owner to immediately start operating the facility for its intended purpose on legal grounds. Engineering systems will allow to control the level of humidity and temperature, in addition, ventilation will be installed, which will make the activity more comfortable and convenient.

A barn for 50 heads is the best solution for a small family farm. For a successful business, it is necessary to follow the rules for keeping cattle. The construction of a barn, taking into account all the requirements and high-quality equipment, will help to avoid problems with the health of animals and increase their productivity. Before a novice farmer, questions arise: to build a barn with your own hands or to resort to the help of professional teams, what materials to use and how much will the project cost?

Requirements for keeping cows

The microclimate in the barn is made up of many factors, such as temperature, light, humidity, concentration of harmful gases. The cow is especially demanding on the conditions, and the peaks of sensitivity occur at 3 and 7-8 months of pregnancy.

The temperature of the content affects the processes of heat exchange in the body of cows. There is the concept of "thermal neutrality zone". This is the temperature regime at which the metabolism in the body of animals is not disturbed. For various breeds of cattle, this zone is located in the range of +4 - +20 °C.

Overheating and hypothermia of animals can also occur due to high humidity in the room. Humidity above 85% at high temperatures makes heat transfer difficult and the animal overheats. At low temperatures, high humidity leads to colds.

At the same time, air drying should not be allowed. When humidity is less than 40%, mucous membranes, respiratory tract, skin, horns, and hooves suffer.

Harmful gases such as ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide are a waste product of cows. Their concentration in the air is regulated by regulations. In case of insufficient natural ventilation, livestock complexes for 50 heads are equipped with forced-type hoods.

When installing the floor with your own hands, you need to make sure that it is airtight, and slurry does not penetrate into the cracks.

Natural lighting has a positive effect on the condition of animals. It prevents the development of rickets and softening of the bones, stimulates the metabolic process in the body. To allow sunlight to enter, the barn is equipped with windows.

The design of the barn should provide for artificial lighting with incandescent lamps for rearing young animals. For calves, the norm is 50 lux, during the fattening period - 20-30 lux.

A livestock farm for 50 heads of cattle is associated with the installation of mechanical equipment, the operation of which is not silent. With some adaptation to industrial noise, cows still experience a deterioration in performance under the influence of this irritating factor. According to the standards, the noise level in the barn should not exceed 70 decibels.

The installation plan for air conditioners, heaters and other equipment must be considered at the design stage. The barn must be kept clean. Manure is removed with scrapers, and sawdust flooring is regularly replaced with their own hands.

The dry period in cows is characterized by a high risk of mastitis. At this time, hygiene should be given increased attention.

To ensure the conditions for keeping cattle, an area of ​​​​at least 6 m2 is allotted per cow, taking into account the feeder and passage, and at least 10 m2 for a cow with a calf. Based on this, the total area for placing 50 heads, taking into account the birth of calves, should be about 500 m2.

The plan for the location of the barn on the site should fit into the overall concept of the farm complex.

Materials for construction are selected depending on the climate and their availability in the region. You can build a barn with your own hands from wood, brick, cinder block or foam block.

When building large complexes for keeping cows, the frame method and sandwich panels are often used. The simplest and cheapest is frameless technology. Arched hangars are built on a lightweight foundation by building up an arcuate profile.

Estimated cost of construction and construction time:

• brick - 12500 rubles / m2 (6-12 months);
• sandwich panels - 7550 rubles / m2 (3-6 months);
• glued laminated timber - 8100 rubles / m2 (6-12 months);
• frame building - 3400 rubles / m2 (1-3 months);
• frameless hangar - 1800 rubles / m2 (2-10 days).

During the construction of the barn, the following dimensions are observed: wall height - from 2.5 m (with non-replaceable flooring - from 3 m), roof height to the ridge - from 3.5 m. Windows are placed at a height inaccessible to cows.

The floor rises above ground level. It is performed with a slope of 2cm/m for liquid drainage. A larger slope is not recommended, so as not to provoke limb diseases in cows. The best option- plank floor on clay. Boards without clay are impractical: they quickly become unusable, moreover, manure liquid flowing through the cracks will accumulate under them, releasing toxic substances.

The ceiling is made of thick boards. The gaps between them are covered with clay. The ceiling is insulated with sawdust or sand, pouring a layer of 10-15 cm. In cold regions, it is recommended to build a ceiling with double decking.

Internal arrangement and equipment

The plan of the internal structure of the barn includes the placement of the stall, feeders, passages. The stall should have the following dimensions: 1.7x1.1 m. Sawdust or chopped straw is poured onto the floor in the stalls, providing the animal with a dry lying place, or permanent wooden flooring is installed.

In the rear part, a chute is equipped for draining slurry. Its dimensions: width - 20x10 cm. The gutter should be built with an inclination towards the slurry collector. To bring the gutter out of the barn, an opening is made in the wall, which is closed with a valve.

A feeder and drinker are placed in front of the stall. The simplest feeder is a box-gutter along the length of the stall, having the following dimensions: width at the top - 70 cm, at the bottom - 40 cm, height of the side facing the cow - 25-30 cm, external - 70 cm. make with your own hands from dry, carefully planed boards.

Feeder modifications include:

• with folding sides for easy cleaning;
• lifting with height adjustment (used when using high non-replaceable flooring).

The calf cage is placed on the side of the stall.

The construction of a barn is associated with many nuances. Without their understanding, building a quality farm with your own hands is difficult. In this case, it is better for a novice farmer to contact construction teams, choose a project that takes into account general recommendations for keeping cattle, the climatic features of the region, the necessary equipment and order turnkey construction.
