Defo help but also adds cost even labour now to do it adds up to a lot but yea it will help alot

 

[Smokey16]

Yea your right. What it is iv got a chap that wants to rent some of my building to fatten lambs in and I'm thinking of doing but need to work out costing ect. If I decide to let the other person rent my sheds to do it what do you think I should charge him

Can you thoroughly pressure wash and disinfect when they are gone?
If you have your own sheep, you may not want someone else's bugs in your lambing sheds?

[Smokey16]

Just wondered what to charge him

concrete floors and lambs will make they very lame unless you push the muck out almost weekly.
