We just finished this calf shed for a dairy farm located in Peebles, Otago. We designed this one-of-a-kind calf shed to maximise operational efficiency. Holds up to 240 calves comfortably. 12 per pen keeps things organised and stress-free.
Centre feeding lane makes all the difference. Feed both sides from one spot. Saves time on feeding runs. Boosts cleaning efficiency too. Hygiene stays top-notch. Cost savings add up fast. Bird-proof design keeps things clean and safe.

YES, this shed delivers on welfare and ROI. Calves thrive in a dry, comfortable environment. Farm ops run smoother.
Future-proofing starts with design. And because we handle the design and build in-house at Numat Construction, the project stayed on time and on budget.
