I’m a city guy so forgive my ignorance if applicable. Looks crowded for the cattle. Although they are not complaining. What is the norm for this stage of beef production.

[@atomicwedgie8176]

I grew up on a hog farm in north central Iowa...we would never crowd this many animals in a pen...inhumane!

@@atomicwedgie8176 You are lying!!

[@brianjonker510]

It is the norm for cattle to bunch up into herds even when they are outside and can self regulate.

[@tjs805]

Thank you for the explanation. As I said earlier. They seem comfortable.

How muchbwould this barn cost to build?

[@KoreanFarM-bj9cx]

In Korea, it seems that we need about 1 million dollars.

[@KoreanFarM-bj9cx]

I am also preparing to build a barn. Too expensive.
