Pen size

[keeton.ehrig]

I am sure this topic has been discussed before.  I am building a new show barn that will be mainly for show heifers.  Is a 10' wide pen large enough?

I am open to all opinions and thought processes.

We have some that are 10" and we have some that are 12". with them then being 20' long as well. We do those cause then we can buy 10 or 12' cattle panels to lock em in close to work on halter breaking and things like that. I like the 10' pens better for breaking plus the panels are cheaper.
