[QUOTE="Monty, post: 5257382, member: 775"] Has anybody put in cubicles for weaned calves before? We have a small loosebox around 12x18ft which is just causing no end of grief with the calves going backwards and struggling in there. Has a concrete floor that seems to slope into it and the bedding is very hard to keep dry in there. Will be for 2-6 month olds. I was thinking something like 4ft x 2 1/2 ft size sloped back and cleaned and bedded by hand every 3/4 days. Otherwise perhaps knocking holes in the concrete to help drain the water out or knocking through the wall into the unused neighbouring loosebox and doubling the size of it. Any thoughts/suggestions [/QUOTE]
