    we,ll say 1500gls a cow . a bit less if you have straw run back +maybe a third of that for calves. depends on where you farm and winter length

    depends on storage needs for nitrates, if ok 36' x 12' would surfice with dry area for calves. To comply with nitrates all depends on what area your in.
