OT.....Heifer rent

Just wondering if anyone knew what a fair price would be for keeping dairy heifers in friends barn. Arraignments would be tie-stall set up, I would provide all feed and grain, do all chores and use his tractor and spreader to clean barn daily. Am located in NY state. Just wondering if anyone had a ballpark figure what a fair price for both of us would be. Thanks. Jay
 

Bruce, I agree 100 %

Neb cowman, yes, it would be multiple and 25cents a head may not be far off, was just looking for some opinions. Thanks, Jay
 
seems easier just to rent the whole barn. Since you
are feeding and cleaning. Nice to see cows back in
a barn. Barn has new life.
 
John,

Prime Holstien springers aren't far from that in this area. My son just bought one last week for $1800 and that was far from the highest cow sold.
 
Manure going on his fields or yours?
I'm assuming heifers will be tied in stalls,
correct (not free ranging in the barn)? If so, is
there a lot for exercise? Pasture available?
