[QUOTE="traineefarmer, post: 6762602, member: 89974"] We replaced our cages with enriched before the 2012 deadline. Aside from land purchases, it was the biggest capital investment the business had ever made. At the time egg production seem a too important and integral part of the farm not to take the risk and for the first 5 years it seemed we had made the right decision. In 2018 we reduced our flock by a third and are now using the shed as a potato grading unit and store. The enriched cage equipment, barely 6 years old ( and with a 25 year life expectancy) had no value and has been scrapped. Getting rid of the rest will now be a lot easier when the time comes.
