[QUOTE="stablegirl, post: 5212626, member: 6374"] Im currently on with building a calf shed on auto calf feeders, it has 2 pens in 44' long and 18' wide, straw bedded with water feed and the station at the front on a raised section. The question is what slope do i put on the floor under the bedding? Will a gentle slope to a drain channel at the front be sufficent? Or should i put one across half way? Will much moisture come out of the bedding? Id thought about sloping from the outsides of each pen to a drain running right up the middle but im worried about mucking out with a flat bucket in a v shaped floor? Any help would be great.
