I can’t begin to explain the amount of time I put in researching Pole Barns in our area. When I say I have looked at them all, I mean them ALL. Three years ago I put in a 40×60 from another company and while it was a great kit at a great price, it’s the little things that make the final product from Southern a much better kit.

Livestock Shelter FAQs

What is a livestock shelter?
A livestock shelter is a purpose-built structure designed to protect cattle, horses, goats, sheep, and other farm animals from sun, rain, wind, and extreme weather. These shelters range from simple open-sided loafing sheds to fully enclosed barns with stalls, feeding areas, and ventilation systems. A well-designed livestock shelter keeps your animals comfortable, reduces stress, and supports better health and productivity across your herd.
Yes, we build both open-sided shelters and fully enclosed livestock barns. Enclosed barns offer maximum protection from weather and predators, and can include stalls, calving or foaling areas, and climate control options. Open-sided designs provide excellent natural ventilation and easy access for larger herds. We also build hybrid structures that combine enclosed sections with open loafing areas to suit different management needs.
Absolutely. Every livestock shelter we build is custom-designed to fit your specific herd size, animal type, and property layout. Whether you need a small run-in shelter for a few horses or a large multi-bay loafing shed for a cattle operation, we engineer the building to your exact specifications. We account for animal count, feeding requirements, drainage, and future expansion so your shelter works perfectly from day one.
A dedicated livestock shelter protects your animals from heat stress, cold, rain, and wind, which directly improves their health, weight gain, and reproductive performance. Sheltered animals require fewer veterinary visits, consume feed more efficiently, and experience less stress overall. Proper shelter also protects your hay and feed from weather damage, reduces mud and erosion in high-traffic areas, and adds significant value to your farm property.
In most cases, yes. Proper site preparation is essential for a long-lasting livestock shelter. This typically includes clearing and leveling the build site, ensuring proper drainage to keep the shelter area dry, and sometimes adding compacted gravel or a concrete pad in high-traffic areas. Our team evaluates your property and advises you on exactly what site prep is needed before construction begins so your animals have a clean, functional space.
Build times vary depending on the size and complexity of your livestock shelter. A standard open-sided loafing shed can be completed in just a few days, while larger enclosed barns with stalls, gates, and custom features may take several weeks. After your consultation, we provide a clear timeline so you know exactly what to expect. We pride ourselves on efficient construction without cutting corners.
Extremely durable. Our livestock shelters are engineered to withstand the toughest conditions Central Florida can throw at them. We use pressure-treated posts, heavy-gauge steel framing, and commercial-grade metal roofing and siding rated for high winds and heavy rain. Every structure is built to handle the daily wear and tear of livestock while meeting or exceeding local building codes. Your animals will be protected for decades.
