Abstract :This research was carried out 39 tie beef houses selected from 36 beef cattle growing companies in Konya province. In this study, the suitability of barn for cattle growing was researched by examining of the building constructions and climatic properties. In general, housing designs were found inappropriate in terms of heat transmission coefficients and heat-moisture balance analyse and ventilation performance and lighting. Animal density was found between 3.10 – 5.00 m2/animal in 74.36 % of the houses. The insulation had been applied only at roofs. The average thermal conductance in all buildings were calcu-lated as 0.54 – 1.35 kcal/m2°Ch. The heat-moisture balance was negative in all beef houses in winter. Spring and summer ventilation requirements of beef houses were found 231-315 m3/h animal and 668-997m3/h animal respectively in Konya envi-ronments. It was observed that company owners have tendency of preferring free beef house in last years.
