These buildings are designed for the milking of cows and first stage milk processing. Most, except for the lower quality units, have the capability for short-term storage. The structures are built to comply with state health and sanitation codes.
Usually built of masonry or wood frame construction, they have contoured concrete floors with epoxy or tile finishes. The better qualities have high level lighting, cow washes, restrooms, showers, pipe stanchions and milk piping. These units are generally not heated.
The costs include installed piping and electrical circuits, but do not include milking equipment and milk storage or processing equipment.
