[QUOTE="mdt192, post: 1824720, member: 28762"] I’m looking at adding on to my working pens to make a weaning / holding pen and would like to pick y’all’s brain on size. It will be used for catching (when not in use), weaning calves (no more than 20 for 4 weeks), and holding cows while in an ai protocol (no more than 25 for 2 weeks) Would this 72’x48’ addition be suitable for housing that number of cows / calves? Of course, water and feed would be brought in. The other two pens would also be opened most of the time, but I need to be able to get by with one if needed. Most of this work should be in fall and early spring, so I am hoping my lack of shade won’t be a major problem? There are tree lines 100 ft both north and south, but not much east and west. Not in the picture are temporary panels tying the squeeze chute and lower most gate, so that animals can be sent back to corrals after chute service. [/QUOTE]
