I wqas talking to a guy up in MN that was telling me there is a company that will come out and measure your barn roof for the curvature then make the roofing with the curve to fit your barn roof so it can be put on in one sheet or something like that so it didn't have the usual pull on the screws making it susceptible to blowing off as it pulled back up. they would even put that little flare on the bottom end. that might have been a separate piece I don't know.

Hahahaha. Never heard of such a thing. When wrapping a gothic or horseshoe roof you have to use a corrugated pattern of tin. Pro-rib or the 9 patter wont bend the radius without kinking.

You are correct. Two neighbors had their curved roof quonsets roofed with new steel. The company matched the curve of the roof at the factory and shipped to them.

A Rilco rafter barn?

Interesting conversation, but what does any of it have to do with the silo?
