If you're only bringing into lamb then why go for slats. They won't be in long enough to justify it and straw bedded will be so more flexible rest of the year. Slats are the job thogh if you are feeding lambs in the backend. What type of slat are you going for? Plastic or timber?
Ya I’ll be using them for lambs in winter aswell planning to house all light store lambs and store them over on good silage and few nuts until feb when lambing starts. And also rear suck calves after lambing
Would similar pens/slats for sheep work for calves up to weaning as well?
I’m not sure the wire mesh would suit calves? The plastic slats would be a good job for young calves I’d say
Sorry I didn't realise yours were wire mesh!
That was what I had in mind, a slight slope to the floor and a channel along the front.
Jetwash in carrigallen are very good to deal with
