[QUOTE="SBMF 2015, post: 1663688, member: 39695"] 40x60 would make a great pole barn and fence in a 1/2 acre lot attached to that. I like the 12x12 stalls and working alley. That just doesn't give you much room left if that is the only place the cattle get to stay. In less you plan on concreting the floor it will turn in to a muddy mess. Okay, not to get to graphic, but pigs with feed lot steers is okay. Pigs with cows, calves, or feed lot heifers is a no no. Forty years ago lots of guys ran hogs behind their fat cattle. They fed shell corn in self to the cattle. The hogs will sort through the cattle manure and eat the shell corn that passes through the cattle. Hogs are smart and omnivorous. It doesn't take them long to figure out that if they bite a heifer 's vulva, she will stand up, stretch, and poop. Pigs have been known to chew the vulva off fat hfrs. This just opens the door to infection, and calving/breeding problems. Good Luck. [/QUOTE]
