For higher production...
company’s more than 20
existing models, except that
no built-in manure pit is
included.
The new models are
designed to be used with a
concrete or concrete block
manure pit. AH “Castle”
models up to now have
included a 2-foot-deep
manure pit built into the
structure at the factory,
according to John Graves,
who directs marketing
operations for all Agstar
brand buildings and
livestock feeding, watering,
and handling equipment.
The new “pitless’ models,
Graves said, are in response
to the needs of producers
who want to build their own
manure pit, perhaps with
somewhat larger capacity
than is provided in the
regular models.
Both types of structure are
available in either 12-foot
wide or 24-foot-wide models,
in lengths up to 50 feet. The
narrower models are each
delivered by one truck to the
purchaser’s farm and
installed on concrete slab or
manure pit. The 24-foot-wide
models are delivered in two
12-foot-wide sections by two
trucks and assembled ready
for use. With both types of
buildings, all feeders,
waterers, heaters,
ventilation, plumbing, and
electrical wiring is factory
installed. The purchaser
need only connect to
outside water and electrical
lines to start using the
building.
The company maintains
an extensive distributor
network for its buildings.
Distributors sell and service
the structures on the local
level.
Additional information on
the complete AGSTAR
“Castle” line of buildings is
available from local
distributors or by writing to
Star Agri Products, P.O. Box
115, Goshen, Indiana 46526.
Models include sow
farrowing buildings, pig and
calf nurseries, combination
farrowing and pig nurseries,
hog finishing, and
combination nursery and
finishing models.
