Has anyone recently built a purpose built calf shed? Looking at building one for ourselves next year and would love to see what you’ve done to get ideas for ours.
What size are the pens? 10 foot by?Replacement heifers kept in shed until weaned, beef calves are normally sold younger so not so long.
Do you have to lift off the meal troughs or do they reach over them to reach the wyedales?The fall from back to front is not huge about 15cm we use a lot of straw so there is no drainage needed rightly or wrongly.View attachment 847448
Where did you get those gate with the height adjustable rail? NiceView attachment 847419View attachment 847419View attachment 847419View attachment 847419This is mine holds 140 in pens of ten, fed with 2 wydales on a trolley so no lifting seems to work well.
