120 Sheep Shed

These structures have an open front and are used for the raising of sheep. The lower qualities have dirt floors and half walls or back wall open vents. The better qualities will have some concrete flooring and subdivided pens. There is usually some electrical and water to the pens, while some may have some type of flushing system.

For this occupancy, which may have one or more open sides, you should always enter the actual walled perimeter. If the shape option is used, the program calculates perimeter based on a three-sided structure.

For enclosed barns, see occupancy 397 Sheep Barn.

For individual shelters, see occupancy 132 Livestock Shelter, Individual.

Marshall Valuation Service sections: 17 and 47.
