This document is a photographic specification sheet for barn repairs at the U.S. Dairy Forage Research Center (DFRC), detailing structural damage requiring remediation.

The document presents visual evidence of significant structural deficiencies in the K3 Barn facility. Key damage areas identified include: a deteriorated support column supporting a roof section on the north side with visible cracking and compromise; water intrusion through an overhang on the west side where melting snow saturates feed areas; a damaged post on the north side showing substantial wear and structural failure; beam deflections along a 2018 overhang addition visible from the east, indicating sagging and potential load-bearing capacity issues; separated beam seams in the 2018 overhang addition documented in close-up photography; and a support beam damaged by equipment impact on the west side. The photographs demonstrate compromised structural integrity across multiple building systems, including roofing, columns, posts, and beam assemblies, collectively indicating the need for comprehensive repairs to restore safe operations at the dairy research facility.
