Livestock housing system
Hi, can anybody show me where I can buy the plans for the barn? I can see it on the website but it says 'out of stock'.
We are just about to put up a barn in the KNF system for cows and we would really appreciate any plans/blueprints you may have!
Many thanks,
Darren

The specific barn I have is a prefab building. The floor is what matter and it is described here in this University of Hawaii document on Inoculated Deep Litter Systems.

Drake sends people to naturalfarminghawaii.net for barn drawings. Under Livestock then Pigs, it has the building drawings, a cost breakdown, and the University of Hawaii guide. (Office Hours Ep. 50, 41:57)
For chickens, look under livestock and chickens. The advanced chicken series product is out of stock right now. (Office Hours Ep. 110, 1:00:03) Drake has no fixed blueprint for a chicken coop. He points to the poultry pages and his channel's Hubble Bubble build videos. (Office Hours Ep. 78, 32:57)
Master Cho's livestock housing rests on three ideas:
- Harmony with the environment. (Office Hours Ep. 81, 40:21)
- Respect for the animal's natural urges. (Office Hours Ep. 81, 40:21)
- A barn sized right for the flock. (Office Hours Ep. 81, 40:21)
The library covers pig and chicken housing. It has no plans or drawings for a cow barn.
