I have a small shed for lambing. One side is free range for expectant ewes and the other is pens for when they’ve lambed. It has a concrete floor so I lime it and then straw it out. I pick up what poop I can and restraw over the top as needed.
What do you do when you have an empty pen after it’s been used? Currently I am liming over the old straw and then laying new straw on top to make more of a cushion. Plus if I totally clean them out there’s a lot of wastage. The.only thing is when a new ewe goes in she can paw it up, including the manky bits underneath. I can’t see a way of stopping this from happening.
How do you manage the bedding in your shed?
