[QUOTE="sheepwise, post: 7875537, member: 452"] The depth of pen depends entirely on how you intend to feed the cattle. TMR or adlib then deeper pens are best but if you need space for all cattle to feed at once then I would go with a 12' foot slat which would allow 3' of your roof to help keep the feed dry. Make sure your feed barrier is on the the sheltered side away from prevailing wind and definitely put on comfort mats. Crack on and don't listen to the doom merchants on here because in 5 years time you will realise it was the best investment you ever made with content cattle, wintered at low cost with the added bonus of valuable slurry stored for spreading in spring.
