Winter shed rent

We currently are looking like losing our winter (and summer ) accomodation for our heifers (its been on and off for a yr or so ) . :confused:
There was an option until Spring time for the new buyers of our old accomodation to let us carry on renting the land and shed but that sale went west ,and the new buyers rightly want to use it for horses I suspect
So its all been ongoing but we havent found anywhere suitable close to home ,except for a neighbour who wants to help out !
Will most likely tell him what we pay per animal £3 /week per animal ,but thats based against £80 a week for summer rent on land thats a bit marginal !!

We have an option of renting a neighbours shed for the winter ,not an ideal site ,but we are very grateful!!

Anybody got a good quide to what would be a fair rent per animal per day or week , (averaging the sizes from yearlings to in calf heifers ,we only have 12 -14 or so ) ??

Any thoughts or ideas welcome . We provide the straw and feed too so its just shed space and water !!!

Thanks in advance
