Depending on the length of the shed put stockboard sheeted gates in the gable ends for the outer pens. Means cattle are not mucking up feed passage when handling and if you need to get in to get out a downed animal it is more doable. Plus I know the feed passages at home were always slippery so greater chance of animal falling and getting hurt.
Less gates along feed fence leaves more head space and less metal to eventually rot out.
Would also go with perimeter feeding rather than central passage so not driving on fresh forage when feeding out the second time through the shed. Plus if on a budget you just need to concrete strip along feed fence rather than full passage.
