OT a little/shelter - cattle advice

Posted by Dave from MN on April 17, 2006 at 05:34:57 from (65.126.171.162):

OK sealing the deal on the 5 Simmental, 2 cows, 3 heifers all bred but the youngest, due in fall. I was gonna erect a 8x16 shelter, is this large enough and protctive enough for central MN. What shots and feeding regimen should these adult and young cattle recieve? Any beef cow advice would be greatly appreciated, as It has been 20+ years since I worked with cattle and them were dairy. Would I be better off building a small gambrel( barn like building), menards has a 24'x30'x8' with loft on sale for $9000, Maybe I could use larger ceiling jiost to allow hay storage in the loft, any recommendations on this. I want to have at least what is good for cattle, but no go broke setting up for them?
