I rent a group of spare cattle buildings out on an off lying farm. I charge a flat rate for them for the winter till they need to turn out in the spring. No idea what the square footage is but rent will be a lot less than 35p ft. It's a pigs ear of a layout without much muck storage so have to be sensible.
what else can the building be used for
Only worth what someone is prepared to pay for it.
Also, is electric and water included or separately billed?
Size? Layout? All add or detract from value

Had some cattle in a few yrs ago. (Dry cows) charged £5 per head per week he supplied the fodder and straw and I supplied the shed,water and labour(feeding and bedding) .We kept the muck. They came in on 1st Nov and went end of March. It was a good job all round but I think it should really have been about £8 a head but at the time we were glad of the muck !
TB testing is the worry though . I stopped having in calf heifers as if you went down , you would be stuck calving them .
When we contract reared all the youngstock from one farm , linked holdings were allowed .
It's 35p a square foot per winter, water is spring fed so no charge, electric also included, the building is around 25years old, but not well we'll set up for my opinion, it's clear spans it had a central feed passage 20foot wide, two 12 foot scrape passages and only 20 foot lying area, and it's 100 foot long, was only going to use it for younger stock, so hopefully will get 80-100 cattle in,
Hope this helps,

I'd say 35p sq ft is way too cheap. Try costing out putting up your own shed for that.
depends
in the sort term its not to bad depending how much you need it
long term
10 years it adds up to be a far bit

its also tax deductible, unlike the cost of a new shed, sounds like a great deal to me

True. I doubt you'd get a new shed for less than £20/sq.ft all in, possibly more. That would be 57 yrs rent at 35p/sq.ft.

So on the square footage, 100x84 , shed is going to cost about£3k. Should comfortably house say 90 cows (45/side) which is around£33 per cow for the winter.
Sounds fair.

Is someone paying that just for the use of shed?
I'll sell my cows and rent them some space if so!

Between ten and fifteen quid a square foot I’d recon on fag packet maths.

35p/sq ft that's about right in my experience .
