Olympia Steel Buildings freestall dairy barn metal buildings  incorporate an innovative integral moveable side curtain system with dual curtain drive units and galvanized curtain doors, which allow airflow and exposure to the outside elements to be controlled. A manual curtain door drive unit is also available. Olympia's open ridge building ventilation system allows for ample air exchange, venting the large quantities of heat and moisture produced by cows out of the buildings.

The bottom line is whether cows are comfortable. . .
