Station View Farm Secures Stronger Shelters for Safety During Lambing Season

Spring at Station View Farm near Leven, Scotland, is a demanding time for John Lyle. With newborn lambs arriving, their safety is his top priority. However, exposure, hypothermia, and infection pose constant threats, made worse by the harsh Scottish climate. Without proper shelter, managing his flock was stressful and challenging.

John needed a livestock shelter that could withstand severe winds while providing a safe environment for his animals. Most options weren’t built for such extreme weather—until he found Agri Span from McGregor Structures. Designed to endure Beaufort 10 winds, Agri Span offered the perfect solution. Within three weeks of placing his order, six units were delivered and installed, just in time for lambing season.

That year, strong winds hit Station View Farm, putting the new structures to the test. Thanks to 1.6-metre ground screws anchoring the shelters, they remained secure. The durable PVC sheet, held tightly by a robust frame, made maintenance simple. John could finally focus on his sheep rather than worrying about shelter failure.

Even after lambing season, the shelters proved invaluable for storing hay and farm supplies. With Agri Span’s modular design, John can expand as his flock grows, ensuring long-term protection and peace of mind. What was once a major concern is now a seamless part of farm life.
