Vented fibre cement roof

I’ve just removed a fibre cement roof from a dairy cow shed, fitting a new composite roof for machinery storage / workshop.
Was first installed 2009 so it is definitely not asbestos.
Has anyone come across these sheets? They are 1m wide, rather than 1m cover, I guess they are designed for ventilation in livestock sheds.

wondering what to do with the roof, is it worth anything to anyone? Any ideas on where I should be looking to offer something like this?

Grateful for any help!

approx 80m x 15m, 1100m2, all palletised.

In could possibly resuse a lot of them, Is it even possible to use these as a normal sheet? I guess they would just have slightly less cover than a normal.

aren't they just ordinary sheets put on the wrong way up?

They usually come with a 30 year warranty if made by the main manufacturers, so half way through their working life. I’m sure they will have a value but not much because if I’m paying labour to reroof a shed I want the 30 life expectancy if that makes sence.
We have used them successfully for side cladding on a grain store and it’s worked really well & should well outlast tin etc

Yes, that is my issue too, I was thinking of
flipping them over, but like you say labour is expensive, so I have put a composite insulated roof on instead.
