    Hi all

    I know this is a bit of how long is a piece of string question but has anyone got an idea of what sort of money I would be talking for a shed 60ft by 60ft for lambing.

    If you can imagine looking down on the plans this is what I was thinking...

    5ftpen... 5ftfeed/passage... 5ftpen-(back to back)-5ftpen... 15ft center passage/feed... 25ft open pen and a 20ft by 25ft pen at the bottom for lambs getting used to mother among a small group.
    This would mean 36 5ft pens and the 20ft by 25ft pen and then the 25ft by 40ft open pen.

    I was going to build this from grass so anyone with an idea of ball park figures to build this....

    or what you would do better or think would be a better set up.

    Thanks for that Iron Man I was going to go with concrete only but it was great to get an idea of what sort of money i'm realistically talking.
    In a way I very glad as I was thinking it was going to be more while, hoping otherwise.
