Whether you’re housing livestock or storing machinery, the choice of building and infrastructure can significantly impact your farm’s overall productivity and profit. For Tom and Christy Whytock of Doral Farms in Ontario, the solution lay in investing in a Britespan building.

The Backstory

Like many farmers, the Whytocks, owners of Doral Farms, were looking for ways to improve the functionality and efficiency of their farm operations. Dairy farming, in particular, poses its set of challenges. From ensuring the well-being of the calves and cows to managing the various chores associated with dairy farming, such as feeding and cleaning, every aspect needs to be streamlined to optimize outcomes.

The Britespan Buildings Solution

After careful consideration, the Whytocks made a decision to acquire a Britespan building. The building, measuring 62′ x 190′, was purposed as a dairy barn to house both calves and the far off dry cows.

One of the standout features of the Britespan building is its self-cleaning pack floor. For any farmer, reducing the need for regular cleaning can lead to significant time and cost savings. This feature ensures that waste and other detritus are easily scrapped, ensuring a healthier environment for the livestock and easier maintenance for the farmers.

Additionally, the building’s design accommodates ample space for routine dairy farming activities. Whether it’s feeding the livestock, scraping the floors, or other tasks, the space of the barn ensures that these activities can be carried out without any hindrance.

Another advantage that cannot be understated is the natural lighting. Not only does this contribute to the well-being and health of the livestock,  but it also reduces the farm’s dependence on artificial lighting, leading to energy savings and, consequently, financial savings.

Farm Efficiency Driven by the New Britespan Building

Post their investment, Doral farms became noticeably more efficient. The easy-to-clean floor helps to reduce the amount of time and effort to clean the barn. The natural lighting elevated the mood and health of the livestock and also cut down electricity bills.

But beyond the measurable benefits, Tom and Christy found that the Britespan building perfectly aligned with their needs. Its functionality was apparent not just in its features but also in how it seamlessly integrated into their farming routine, enhancing rather than disrupting.
