Got 60 in calf heifers arriving in 3 weeks from Holland on behalf of a neighbouring farmer. They're stopping with us up until just before calving then they will go to their home. How much room will 60 cows need? As ag contracting is our job, were a bit green at this!!

According to the above recommendations, 60 cows need 630 sq m of which 360 needs to be bedded, so 60ft by 115ft is the minimum (in old money to confuse you:p)
