As title really.
What are cattle sheds worth this winter. Mains water provided. Feed and bedding supplied by owner of cattle who would pop round to feed and bed . Probably want use of my loader though .

It's gotta be worth a percentage of your capital invested, surely?

If you go on machine hours, nothing gets warmed up; but you need something towards R&M.

How many head will you house?

I think it’s only about 40 stores. We’ve got sheds that’ll house 160, but I’m not too bothered these days . Like to keep my machinery undercover

I’ve been offered a building locally that can house around 80 cattle comfortably and 45 acres of grass. I valued the shed at £3000/year and the grass at £40/acre for summer only, fenced but unfertilised.
