The old hay/sheep/heifer/calving shed, is on its last legs, litraly , 3 rotten wooden posts, 2 rotten metal posts, one rotten truss, leaks like a sive, and the round roofed part is holyer than the local church, so will need to be replaced asap.
Inside is a mix of gates, baler twine, some hay racks and home made feeders, no handling facilities bar a gate and some baler twine.
Hopefully i will replace the shed with a portal frame 70' wide by 60' long, but unfortunately only access from the front, im not sure how to go about the layout. Will hold all the heifers from 8 weeks upwards, reared on straw and cake. Will probably put in self locking yolks for the older ones to make for easier handling, not sure how to do the younger ones. It will also be a store for straw and sawdust, and possibly a calving pen or two
Could i be rude and ask for pictures of your setups please to help me get some ideas.
Here it is it atm
