Good afternoon all, Currently doing a lot of head scratching over the above. Putting in new accommodation for a few cows. What would be a good, cost effective option? Autumn block calving, medium cows, 600 - 650kg ish, Medium yielding (7-7500l), 5 - 6 month housing period. tractor scraped. Are mattresses really worth over twice as much as a mat? What have people got, and how do you rate them?
I have considered sand, but don't really fancy the ffaff with handling the slurry. Needs to run through fairly long channels. I also don't really want to have to build a drive in lagoon with settlement tank.
TIA
