Too much
400 I think all in.
You missed the'1' from in front. That's for bed and feed for the largest version. Doubt it's that much cheaper for the cheapest version.

I was going to say 400 would be to good to be true surely, timbers expensive
You've had a quote?

When we looked it was the same price as steel but just saved on cubicles
Over the phone estimate, bit of a rough idea. Didn't excite me. If we have a big steel building, if it all goes wrong, there are other uses for it.

Local spring herd had been getting them up for that about 4/5 years ago. Not a chance anymore. Timber up 30% tomorrow
When I get a chance il dig a quote out. Told chap it was to expensive, he then explained the quote included concrete, the lot. Give them a level site and walk away

We're thinking about switching from loose housing to cubicles, mainly to reduce strep uberis
100 cows, Holstein Friesian 8000 litres. All year round calving, mixed dairy sheep & arable farm
At least 6 months grazing, fed grass & maize silage with rolled wheat & soya rape and parlour feeding to yield
What width for head to head cubicles & what width for feed passage
Sorry if I'm hijacking. Any advice great fully received
Thanks

We’re currently doing a shed for fully housed holsteins so a bit different from you but we’ve gone for 17ft head to head cubicles, 12ft passage between cubicles & 16ft from cubicle to feed fence.

Thanks, that's a good guide
I know it doesn’t help you, but i would take that instantly. I want to build a new shed for dry-cows. Just concrete floor with 0,5m deep boxes with straw bedding. Been quoted £290k for a 20x42m building where half the concrete floor and one wall is already there and almost no ground work. That is insane.
If that is erected price too its pretty good, 15m x 48m is a big shed. A 100ft x 50ft roof and legs is 30k ish without the cost of putting it up on top

Just for reference, we have just put up a 105' x 60' clear span shed, for under £5,000 excluding mine and dad's hours, including hiring a telehanlder and man basket from aclanf plant hire, between dad and myself we probably spent 14 days work between us on it
The kit and the panels would be 50-60k alone i would have thought. Building materials have taken some fearsome jumps in price over the last year. We have just finished a 15 x 36m building and the kit price would have been up at least 30% on this time last year.
