A bar latch including a top portion including and inner and outer surface, a latch retaining aperture disposed in a fore end of the top portion and extending between the inner and outer surface, a first side portion connected to the top portion at a first angle relative to the top portion, where the first side portion includes a first arm extending beyond an aft end of the top portion, and a second side portion connected to the top portion at a second angle relative to the top portion and substantially equal but opposite to the first angle, where the second side portion includes a second arm that extends beyond the aft end of the top portion, wherein an inner surface of the first side portion, an inner surface of the second side portion, and the inner surface of the top portion collectively form a channel extending along the inner surface of the top portion, and wherein the bar latch is configured to be rotatably coupled to a door frame, the bar latch rotatable relative to the door frame between an open and a closed position.
A housing system for a calf including a housing unit having a first exterior sidewall, a second exterior sidewall, a front exterior wall extending between the first exterior sidewall and the second exterior sidewall, a roof extending between the first exterior sidewall and the second exterior sidewall, an opening at least partially defined by the front exterior wall for ingress and egress of a calf into and out of the housing unit, and an enclosed living space extending between and bounded by the first and second exterior sidewalls and the front exterior wall.
An animal housing unit (10, 168) has an enclosed monolithic hutch (12) with an open (14) front (115, 14) and a separate open (14)- top pen (14) attached to the front (115, 14) of the hutch (12) whereby an animal will be contained in the unit by the combination of the hutch (12) and pen (14). The pen (14) has a sliding roof (24) that can be extended over the pen (14), with an extension (28) that shields a feed bucket (207) location from rain. The units can be supported on a composite steel and plastic base (121, 143, 170, 180) and drain through floor tiles (163, 196) can be used on the base (121, 143, 170, 180), which can be supported on adjustable supports to support the base (121, 143, 170, 180) above or close to the ground. The roof is bi-laterally curved or partially spherical to promote shedding of rainwater, and gutters are molded into the hutch (12) to channel (72) rain away from the interior living space. Roof guiding and securement mechanisms are molded into the hutch (12) and sliding roof (24). The sliding roof (24) is double walled for insulation and strength and extruded members (50) sandwich the lower edges of the hutch (12). The front (115, 14) of the pen (14) bulges forwardly beyond the front (115, 14) bottom edge of the pen (14), the front (115, 14) has a door (20, 40, 58), a bottle holder (18) in the front (115, 14) of the pen (14) is wider at the distal end (302, 304), and the front (115, 14) of the pen (14) tapers in width forwardly and upwardly. The units can be provided with an elevated base (121, 143, 170, 180), base (121, 143, 170, 180) skirts (190), a non-slip soft grate (196, 204) floor, a bucket (207) and clip (209), a rain visor (220) on the pen (14), back wall (212) and rear corner ventilation, a manure catch pan (260), treatment flags, tie down hinges, a multiple roof movement system and a bedding tray (300).
