Foreword
Where else can you gain more experience in constructing cattle sheds
than where the demand for them is greatest. By tradition, the Allgäu
has a great deal of experience in dairy farming, and HÖRMANN has a
great deal of experience in building cattle sheds. Rudolf Hörmann laid
the company’s foundations as early as 1960 with the production of
sliding gates for dairy cattle, thereby creating the basis for more than
50 years of specialised knowledge.
Today, HÖRMANN is the top choice for complete cattle shed solutions.
We are one of the few production companies in Germany able to provi-
de you with a complete cattle shed from a single source – starting from
the foundations, to construction, roofing, light/air roof ridge vent, ma-
nure removal systems, doors, gates, and shed facilities, right through to
suitable outhouses. Choose HÖRMANN – The COMPLETE cattle shed.
We don’t just build ONE barn to suit all purposes – we build the ONE
barn that exactly fulfils your individual, climatically-dependent, regio-
nal and economical requirements, keeping the comfort of your cattle in
mind and helping to enhance their performance. Please do not hesitate
to contact us if you have any questions. If you would like a local consult,
a member of our field staff will be glad to visit you. If you have a vision
of the perfect cattle shed, we’ll build it for you.
We hope that reading the rest of the leaflet will help you find inspirati-
on. My team and I look forward to hearing from you!

Floor coverings for cubicles and walking alleys
The system that has been common practice in the rearing of young
stock for a long time is increasingly being implemented in dairy
farming. The raised-floor stall that is both labour- and time-saving
can be fitted with low-cost and at the same time extremely high-
quality, comfortable rubber mats. These comfortable and skid-
proof floor coverings make it easier to maintain hygienic conditions
in the lying area and comply with all animal maintenance regu-
lations. HÖRMANN customers can choose from the large range of
products supplied by our partner GUMMIWERK in Kraiburg.
Kura-S and Kura-P rubber mats increase skid resistance and are
exceptionally claw-friendly. The mats are individually cut to size for
each slatted floor. On solid walking areas, such as manure alleys,
individual mats are seamlessly fitted together. The investment in
animal-friendly walking areas is well worth the expense.
