Herd no. Need some advice

gregs25

What does a person need to get herd no. Do you need a shed or could you say you are running summer cattle. How good of a crush do you need.?? Also any inexpensive ways to do this. Any advice would be great. Thanks

Afaik you only need a crush. and it does not have to be good. I heard lads get herd numbers with a mobile crush

Also need shelter for sick animal which can also act as a pen.

If your looking for cheap N cheery then it would be hard to beat a pole barn design, make with used wan poles and you'll have a shed to last 20 years, you should pick up seconds in sheeting on done deal.
Google pole barns and you'll find all the information you need.



This sort of thing sheeted down the sides.

hi OP.
I recently obtained one myself,
you need land in your name owned or lease min 5 years, isolation pen for sick animals and crush for tb test. I got mine with a 3 pt linkage mobile crush set in the field. plenty of them on done deal or you could buy lock head gate and fashion a race up the side of the field with gates and timber posts, thanks
