Beef cattle do not need much shelter. However, during the winter months, weaned calves and cows calving need at least an open shed. Depending on how large or small your operation is, you may need chutes in order to efficiently maintain and care for your cattle. Chutes can be used when worming, dehorning, palpitating or vaccinating. The size and style depends on how much you are willing to spend, size of operation, and how often you will utilize them.
Proper feeding and watering facilities are important. Feed troughs may be used when supplementing the animal's feed through concentrates. There are many different styles, research these and choose the one that best fits your needs. Be sure that your cattle have access to water at all times.
