Making final plans for new cubicle building featuring wide, tractor scraped passages and sand beds.
Original plan was for 14ft scrape passage between beds and 16ft min against feed barrier (cows not backing onto it).
We farm on a very windy exposed site and I'm slightly concerned about passages drying out too much and becoming slippy if they are too wide, particularly during early spring when cows at grass through day. Granted, sand will help with grip to an extent.
I'm under pressure from planners to reduce the overall width of the building, so would say a 12ft passage be the better option, or am I worrying needlessly?
Cheers
