What you need to know when building a new calf shed

Calves should not share airspace with older animals, due to the risk of disease spreading from the older cattle, and poor calf housing has an important role to play in disease outbreaks.
A stand-alone calf house is preferable to a lean-to or an extension of an existing shed, with the back of the calf house perpendicular to the prevailing wind.
