FBi monoslope barns are designed to perform.
FBi Buildings has partnered with leading cattle nutritionist, Tom Peters, Ph.D., to design the ideal monoslope beef barn. This barn design can easily be modified to fit the unique needs of your operation.
Although FBi can design and build a wide variety of barns, the monoslope beef barn is currently attracting the most attention from producers. Here's why:
- Predictability. Because these barns provide shelter from extreme weather, cattle gain weight at a consistent, predictable (and impressive) rate. That means you can count on your cattle being at the right weight when it's time to sell.
- Profitability. Impressive rate of gain, predictability of time to market and low cost per head equals good return on investment.
- Cattle Health Monoslope barns provide shade from the high, hot summer sun but allow warmth from the low winter sun. The roof height and slope also provides abundant ventilation for good health. These factors reduce your mortality rate. Plus, cattle like being up on mounds, which the bed pack allows.
- Producer Comfort. It's a fact of life. Happier workers are better workers...more likely be focused on the cattle rather than on their own discomfort. Nobody likes slogging through mud or enduring the rain and snow. Catch cattle problems early when they are less expensive to treat.

- Structural Integrity. FBi's wood-frame monoslope barns and are built to last. High wind speeds and heavy loadings are not a problem. Your job will be engineered to clearly specified standards.
- Manure Management. Collection is easy in a monoslope and manure stored under roof is not diluted by rain and broken down by sunlight. Therefore it has a high nutrient value. It's valuable fertilizer for either your farm or to sell to others.
- Environmentally Friendly. Since the manure is under roof, there is no run off. The EPA likes that. And monoslope barns can easily be designed to accommodate storage of 180 days worth of manure, thus meeting NRCS standards necessary for EQIP grant money.
