designs for calf shed and feed pad

[steveaust]

We are currently rearing 20 bobby calves which we will grow out to around 2yo.As we are on small acres i will be feeding them supplements.From past experience i know that i need a feed pad,i can build anything i can get plans for.Can someone direct me to where i might find plans for a pad and a calf shed suitable to house 100 calves.It is common practice here in aust to slaughter dairy/beef cross cal,ves at 5 day of age,for a few years now we have been buying them for $40 each and selling them as steers.now its time to go bigger Kangeroos - of course they dont have signal lights,anybody who has ever ridden one knows you use hand signals. ;-)

Hey Steve,
Here's a link to a website that has building plans for both livestock handling and housing facilities.
