When choosing a site for your livestock barn construction, evaluating each one thoroughly before making a final decision is essential. Here are some key factors to consider when evaluating potential sites:
- Size – The first is the size of the building. You need to ensure that you have enough space to accommodate the size of your herd or flocks and any equipment and other items you may need. This can be difficult to judge without knowing exactly what kind of animals and equipment you plan on having in it.
- Location: Is the site centrally located in terms of access to feed suppliers and other necessary services? Consider the proximity to roads, highways, and airports if you plan on shipping animals or products from the facility.
- Infrastructure – Is there access to adequate electricity, water, sanitation, and internet service? Are there any existing structures at the site that could be repurposed or adapted for use in your livestock barn construction project?
- Land Use Regulations: Does the site comply with local land use regulations? Check the zoning code to ensure that livestock barn construction is even a permissible use on the site.
- Health & Safety – Will the soil and water quality at the site support your livestock operations? Are there any potential hazards, such as steep slopes or nearby wildlife populations, that could impact animal health or safety?
- Security – Is the site located in an area with a low risk of theft, vandalism, or other criminal activity? What security protocols or measures do you need to put in place to protect your livestock and property?
