Hi what's the going rate for housing other farmers cattle in your own shed
This might start to be very important...Anywhere from £1.20-£2.50 per day, depending on circumstances…
or if it’s just the shed we have an arrangement with a retired neighbour. We pay water bill, do everything with the cattle and spread the muck on his ground. We get the cubicle shed and feeding yard FOC.
It was the whole reason we got the cubicles shed. His farm is desperate for muck so he’s quite happy too let us have the shed for nowt as long as all the cow muck gets spread on his farm. Saves us a fortune in straw, so I feel I’m still on the winning side.This might start to be very important...

Oh I don’t know, he takes 1 cut of haylage then my sheep get it for the rest of the year…But only in the Spring.....
Does that include labour?Anywhere from £1.20-£2.50 per day, depending on circumstances…

I wouldn’t know, the £1.20-£2.50 is a “you send the cattle and that’s it” arrangementDoes that include labour?
What would just the housing cost with cattle owner doing all the work and supplying feed and bedding.
Thanks angus lad so you charge 80p per head a week not per a dayWe rent a slatted shed for 80p per head per week if that's any help? We do all the work, provide all the feed and keep all the slurry
And how many cattle do you look after for that priceThanks angus lad so you charge 80p per head a week not per a day
