I’m looking to build a fully slatted cattle shed to house 200 ish additional beef cattle.
It will be split into two with cattle housed in 2 groups from around 9 months to finished.
Does anyone have any ideas about cattle density? I’ve seen figures ranging from 2.5-7m2 per beast!
Not sure on dimensions yet but thinking 18/20m wide with two external feed barriers & concrete troughs.
Also wondering if there’s similar sheds about as I really need to see some (Near ish to Shropshire). Seems like there’s loads in Ireland!
Any input & thoughts greatly appreciated!
