Somewhere in the middle. £1000 would be a fair way short but £2000 would build a palace.

I’d say 2k is where it’s at, probably more with the inflation in steel , wood and concrete recently.

Price of straw and all associated things and the price of cattle not very long .

I’d think it might be needed with sucklers no washing going in. .
