I have had several clients modify there calf barns to increase airflow at low rates. This has been beneficial for some of the older style barns in need of modification. It is a low cost upgrade and benefits calf health.
On a visit to a farm recently, a client showed me his tube updates. I thought the tube placement was a little high without measuring but after thinking about it they were probably about 12 feet from the ground which is what some experts recommend.
Below is a nice article from the Farm and Ranch Guide. Dr. Nordlund is referenced in this article.
