[QUOTE="neilo, post: 7927812, member: 348"] How long have the (timber?) hurdles been set aside? Presumably from last lambing time and in a dry place? If so, they will be carrying far less bacteria than the sheep you will be putting in them. My wooden lambing hurdles will be 25-30 years old and I have never even thought about pressure washing them, any more than I have disinfecting the sheep. If it makes you feel better, you’d be better mixing some Virkon in a knapsack sprayer and spraying them liberally with that when you’ve built the pens, but I can’t see that making a lot of difference either if they’ve been away from sheep for 6+ months.
