    If it was me for 50 ewes I'd put up a 3 bay. Double. 3 bays bedded on gravel. Walk through pens and feed off the passage. 1 bay on the other side u can set up for lambing and jus straw on concrete. middle bay set up your individual lambing pens. And last bay hold straw or hay. If I was goin building in the morning for 50 ewes this is what I'd put up.

    Gravel won't pass a cross compliance if the shed is new
