INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

CTB, Inc. Profit Sharing Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets
available for benefits of CTB, Inc. Profit Sharing Plan as of
December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related statements of changes
in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America.  Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the
Plan as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the changes in net
assets available for benefits for the years then ended in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion
on the basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The
accompanying supplemental schedules of (1) assets held for
investment purposes as of December 31, 1999 and (2) reportable
transactions for the year ended December 31, 1999 are presented
for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required
part of the basic financial statements, but are supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  These schedules are
the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Such schedules
have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our
audit of the basic 1999 financial statements and, in our opinion,
are fairly stated in all material respects when considered in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

CTB, INC. PROFIT SHARING PLAN


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998
1.   DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

     The following brief description of the CTB, Inc. Profit
     Sharing Plan (the "Plan") is provided for general
     information purposes only.  Participants should refer to the
     Plan agreement for more complete information.

     GENERAL - The Plan is a defined contribution plan for all
     employees over the age of 18 of CTB, Inc. (the "Company"),
     Sibley Industries, Inc. and STACO, Inc., other than
     temporary employees.  It is subject to the provisions of
     the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
     ("ERISA").

     ADMINISTRATION - A trustee appointed by the Company
     maintains a separate fund for the Plan, invests
     contributions, disburses funds to participants and maintains
     individual members' accounts to which fund assets are
     allocated.  Plan administrative expenses are paid by the
     Plan.

     CONTRIBUTIONS - Employees may elect to contribute up to 16%
     of their total compensation to the Plan on a pretax basis.
     Additional voluntary employee contributions may be made
     during the year, but no income tax deduction is allowed to
     the employee on these contributions.  Individual employee
     contributions cannot exceed certain levels as prescribed by
     the Internal Revenue Code.

     Upon authorization of the Company's Board of Directors, the
     Company may make a matching contribution.  The Company's
     matching 401(k) contributions for 1999 and 1998 were 50% of
     the first 4% of base pay contributed per employee.

     In addition to its matching contributions, the Company may
     make discretionary contributions based upon the Company's
     earnings.  Company contributions of approximately $932,000
     in 1999 and $920,000 in 1998 were made at the discretion of
     the Company and approved by the Company's Board of
     Directors.

     Employees must direct their own contributions and the
     Company's matching and discretionary contributions to any or
     all of seven funds:  a Managed Guaranteed Investment
     Contract ("Magic") Fund, an Aggressive Equity Fund, a Value
     Equity Fund, an Equity Index Fund, a Government Bond Fund, a
     Government Money Market Fund and CTB International Corp.
     (employer) Stock Fund.  Employees may change their
     investment options quarterly.  As of January 1, 2000, the
     Plan changed certain investment options and allowed for ten
     instead of seven investment options.  This change resulted
     in the Plan liquidating the Aggressive Equity Fund and the
     Government Bond Fund into the Government Money Market Fund
     in December 1999 to provide for reinvestment in the new
     investment options on January 1, 2000.

     PLAN FUNDING - The Company's discretionary contributions,
     Plan earnings thereon and forfeitures are allocated to
     the account of each participant based on the ratio of each
     participant's compensation to total annual compensation of
     all participants during the year.

     VESTING - Participants immediately vest in their
     contributions and actual earnings thereon.  Participants
     vest in their allocated portion of the Company's
     contributions and related Plan earnings based upon length of
     service.  Such vesting ranges from 20% after three years of
     service to 100% after seven years of service.

     PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS - Each participant's account is
     credited with the participant's contributions and
     withdrawals, as applicable, and allocations of (a) Company
     contributions, and (b) Plan earnings, and debited with an
     allocation of administrative expenses.  Allocations are
     based on participant earnings or account balances, as
     defined.  Forfeited balances of terminated participants'
     nonvested accounts are reallocated to the remaining
     participants.  The benefit to which a participant is
     entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the
     participant's vested account.

     PAYMENT OF BENEFITS - On termination of service, a
     participant may elect to receive either a lump-sum amount
     equal to the value of the participant's vested interest in
     his or her account, or periodic installments.

     TERMINATION - The Company expects the Plan to continue
     indefinitely, but has the right under the Plan to
     discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate
     the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.  In the event
     the Company terminates the Plan, the interest of all
     participants will be fully vested.

     TAX STATUS - The Plan has obtained a determination letter,
     dated May 14, 1996, in which the Internal Revenue Service
     stated that the Plan, as then designed, was in compliance
     with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue
     Code.  The Plan Administrator believes that the Plan is
     currently designed and being operated in compliance with
     applicable rules and regulations.  Therefore, no provision
     for income taxes has been included in the Plan's financial
     statements.

2.   ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The following are the significant accounting policies
     followed by the Plan:

     BASIS OF ACCOUNTING - The financial statements of the Plan
     are prepared using the accrual method of accounting.

     INVESTMENT VALUATION AND INCOME RECOGNITION - Investments in
     collective investment funds are stated at fair value based
     on closing prices of the net assets of shares held by the
     Plan at year-end.  Other investments are stated at fair
     market value based upon quoted market prices.  Net
     appreciation (depreciation) on investments for the year is
     reflected in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets
     Available for Benefits.

     Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-
     date basis.  Interest income is recorded on the accrual
     basis.  Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

3.   INVESTMENTS EXCEEDING 5% OF NET ASSETS

     The Plan's investments which exceeded 5% of net assets
     available for benefits as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 are
     as follows:
