That's only 25 square feet per animal- plus you said they're PG? Without checking references, I think old recommendations were about 40-50 sf per head. Now you have more building options. Couple of that size portable shelter would be ok, let you slide them to a new spot when manure builds up. Hoop building with more height, versatility- TRACTOR storage as well as animals, etc. Crowding animals just causes problems- stepped on teats and offspring, inadequate ventilation causes pneumonia, etc. Some in our area get by with tall windbreaks, but it's nice to have a small bu8ilding for treating sick ones. (Windbreak with a small shelter attached?)
